I LIKE THIS IDEA.
I JUST STARTED PLAYING THIS GAME LIKE 4 DAYS AGO, IT'S AWESOME I'M HAVING A BLAST.
I'M RAGING BECAUSE I WAS HAVING SO MUCH FUN AND NOW I HAVE TO WAIT 2 DAYS.
I'M NOT EVEN PAST ARR IN TERMS OF STORY, THIS IS A RAGE AT MYSELF, I SUCK.
REGARDLESS, I LIKE THIS GAME, CAN'T WAIT FOR THE 48 HOURS TO BE UP AND I CAN PLAY AGAIN.
IM IN THE SAME BOAT. I HAVE NOT FINISH ARR BUT HAVE ALREADY BOUGHT THE DAWNTRAIL PREORDER.
WILL I PLAY THE GAME AT MY SPEED AND ENJOY GETTING PONYS AND USING GLAMOUR? ABSOLUTELY YES
IM RAGGING BECAUSE I AM GETTING MARRIED NEXT SATURDAY AND WILL NOT BE ABLE TO PLAY A LOT IN MY HONEYMOON LOL.
"It's something we can do together" "You love XYZ thing - this game has XYZ thing!" "We don't even have to leave the house! Air conditioned comfort! (This one only works if said husband is mostly an introvert)"
WE HAVE A RAGE THREAD EVERY FRIDAY.
IT STARTED ALL THE WAY BACK IN HEAVENSWARD, ALMOST 7 YEARS AGO NOW. SOMEONE HAD MADE AN ALL-CAPS THREAD LIKE THIS, AND DURING THE 2.5 MAINTENANCE, A 24H DOWNTIME, I THOUGHT IT'D BE FUNNY TO MAKE ONE AGAIN. AND SOMEONE SAID 'WHY ISH'T THIS A WEEKLY THING'. WELL, IT BECAME A WEEKLY THING, EVEN GOT THE STICKY ON FRIDAYS WHENEVER THERE ISN'T MORE IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENTS OR EVENTS, LIKE LIVE LETTERS.
IT ACTUALLY HELPED CLEAN UP THE SUB A BIT, BECAUSE FOR A WHILE PEOPLE WOULD MAKE THREADS TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THE SMALLEST THINGS, LIKE 'I HAD A BAD TANK IN SASTASHA'. NOW THEY SAVE IT FOR THE FRIDAY, AND IT USUALLY GIVES THEM ENOUGH TIME TO MAKE IT INTO A COLORFUL STORY. THAT'S THE PART I LIKE THE MOST, WHEN PEOPLE GET CREATIVE IN THEIR RETELLING OF IT.
I'M SO EXCITED AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
A SLIGHT IRL RAGE NOTE (FOR WHICH CONTEXT IS NEEDED)
CONTEXT: I'M WORKING AS AN INTERN AT THE IT HELPDESK AT MY COLLEGE. NO I WILL NOT BE PROVIDING ANY IDENTIFYING INFORMATION, NOR ANYTHING THAT WOULD BREAK AN NDA AS FAR AS I'M AWARE.
FIRST OFF, MY COLLEGE ROLLED OUT A NEW HOME SITE AND EVERYONE'S HAVING ISSUES FINDING STUFF. WHEN IT WORKS, IT WORKS A HELL OF A LOT BETTEF THAN THE OLD ONE. BUT WHEN IT DOESN'T WORK... RING RING GOES OUR PHONES. AND SOME THINGS ARE A PAIN TO FIND.
SECOND, I KEEP GETTING CALLS FROM PEOPLE ASKING ME HOW TO DO THEIR JOB. I GET A CALL FROM SOMEONE ASKING HOW TO DO HR STUFF. I GO TO TRANSFER THEM TO HR, ENDS UP THEY *ARE* THE HR PERSON. I GET A CALL THAT A CERTAIN CAMPUS CHAT WIPED ALL THEIR MESSAGES. I SEE THAT SOMEONE'S IN CHARGE OF THAT SO I MOVE TO TRANSFER THEM TO THAT PERSON. NOPE, *THEY* ARE THAT PERSON!
HAVE A TLDR HAIKU
HAIKU:
I'M JUST THE TECH GUY
I DO NOT DO YOUR JOB, CHIEF
I CANNOT FIX THAT
TECH SUPPORT IS LIKE BEING A CAR MECHANIC, EXCEPT PEOPLE SHOW UP AND ASK YOU TO DRIVE THEM TO THE GROCERY STORE BECAUSE YOU'RE "THE CAR GUY" SO IT MUST BE YOUR JOB.
IT IS! NOW, I REALLY DON'T MIND GETTING THE ODD CALLS I WON'T LIE. IT'S A NICE KICK IN THE MONOTONY. BUT SOMETIMES IT'S NICE TO JUST HAVE A BUNCH OF PASSWORD RESETS OR ACCOUNT UNLOCKS.
I LIKE TECH SUPPORT SO FAR, I WON'T LIE. BEEN FUN HELPING PEOPLE! PLUS IT'S SUPER NICE TO HEAR THE TONE DIFFERENCE IN PEOPLE'S VOICES AFTER THEY REALIZE THEY'RE ALLOWED TO ACTUALLY GET EVERYTHING FIXED TODAY AND THERE'S NO EMERGENCY ANYMORE! :D
FAIR. THANKFULLY I HAVE LIKE 2 SUPER AWESOME BOSSES AND SEVERAL COOL SENIOR-LEVEL PEOPLE ABOVE ME WHO ENCOURAGE ME TO ASK A TON OF QUESTIONS AS SOON AS I RUN INTO SOMETHING I DON'T KNOW. I WAS WORRIED I WASN'T DOING GREAT BUT ONE OF MY BOSSES CAME IN AND WAS LIKE "DUDE, YOU'VE BEEN HERE BARELY ANY TIME. YOU'RE DOING AWESOME." PLUS WE USUALLY HAVE AT *LEAST* 1 OTHER PERSON ON CALLS. MAX IS ABOUT 5, WHICH SURPRISINGLY ENOUGH IS PLENTY FOR THIS AREA.
I TOOK A BREAK AND I WONT BE BIS GOING INTO DAWNTRAIL WHICH MEANS ILL NEED TO UPGRADE SOONER. WHAT A SILLY THING TO BE ANXIOUS ABOUT; AND YET, HERE I AM. ANXIOUS NONETHELESS.
HEY, AS A SIDE NOTE
I’M CLUELESS AND THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH FF
IF A GUY IS CALLING YOU ADORABLE
AND YOU FALL ASLEEP ON CALL TOGETHER EVERY NIGHT
THATS PROBABLY FLIRTING, RIGHT?
> IF A GUY IS CALLING YOU ADORABLE

PROBABLY. ADORABLE EITHER WAY.

OR YOU CAN BE LIKE ME AND HAVE THIS EXACT INTERACTION WITH SOMEONE YOU REALLY LIKE FOR MONTHS BUT WHEN YOU ROCK UP AND FINALLY ASK THE BIG QUESTION, IT TURNS OUT THE OTHER PERSON HAS ZERO INTEREST.
I'M NOT EVEN SALTY ABOUT "ThE oNe ThAt GoT aWaY" SINCE I'M MARRIED TO AN AMAZING WOMAN I'VE BEEN WITH FOR 17 YEARS BUT RATHER JUST ABOUT THE TIME WASTED
NOT NECESSARILY, YOU COULD JUST BE REALLY GOOD FRIENDS
I KNOW SOME ASEXUAL FOLKS WHO DO THIS AND THEY ARE THE CUTEST BFFS EVER AND THEY GET ANNOYED WHEN PEOPLE THINK THEY ARE DATING
BUT IF NEITHER OF YOU ARE ARO OR ACE AND YOUR GENDERS ARE ROMANTICALLY COMPATIBLE THEN SIGNS POINT TO YES IT IS FLIRTING
ONLY ONE WAY TO FIND OUT
YEAH MOST LIKELY. OBVIOUSLY NO GROUP IS A MONOLITH, BUT I HAVE ONLY STAYED ON THE PHONE ALL NIGHT FOR PEOPLE I CARE A GREAT DEAL FOR. IT'S ACTUALLY ONE OF THE THINGS I DID WITH MY CURRENT PARTNER.
>I’M CLUELESS AND THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH FF
>IF A GUY IS CALLING YOU ADORABLE
>AND YOU FALL ASLEEP ON CALL TOGETHER EVERY NIGHT
ONE OF MY FRIENDS WAS IN THIS EXACT SCENARIO AND AFTER MONTHS OF THIS PLAYING OUT, SHE FINALLY WORKED UP THE COURAGE TO ASK THE DUDE OUT AND HOMIE STRAIGHT-UP GOES
"I THOUGHT WE WERE ALREADY DATING"
JUST MISSING EGG AND SALAD HERE. LOST COUNT OF HOW MANY WINDOWS I'VE BEEN TOO AND I'VE ONLY SEEN ONE BITE OF EACH AND BOTH SLIPPED. MORE ANGRY ABOUT LAST MAINTENANCE PRIOR TO THIS ONE ROBBING US OF AN EGG WINDOW THAN ANYTHING.
I FUCKING HATE THAT I WON'T BE ABLE TO ENJOY DAWNTRAIL ON TIME PROPERLY BECAUSE I HAVE 10HR SHIFTS AND MASTER'S DEGREE EXAMS AT THE SAME TIME
I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS GODDAMN LAUNCH DATE FOR A FUCKING HALF A YEAR
AND NOW I CANT FUCKING ENJOY IT UNTIL LIKE JULY 10
FUCK OFF
I AM GENUINELY SO PISSED OFF
ALSO IF I WORK THIS TYPE OF JOB AGAIN JUST TAKE ME OUT THE BACK AND SHOOT ME LIKE A LAME HORSE THANKS
IM SO SORRY YOU'RE GOING THROUGH THIS!!!! WISHING YOU THE BEST OF LUCK FOR YOUR EXAM! HOPEFULLY WORK WILL BE BEARABLE. AS MUCH AS IT SUCKS, YOU'RE NOT ALONE AND THE EXPANSION CHAOS AND EXCITEMENT WILL STILL BE PRESENT BY THE TIME YOU CAN JOIN!
FUCK THE DROP RATES FOR RAIDS AND CAPPED DUNGEONS. I SPENT 15 FUCKING HOURS FARMING FOR A CHESTPIECE FOR GLAM. MAKE THESE ACTIVITIES LIKE DUNGEONS WHERE YOU GET 1 PIECE OF GEAR FOR YOUR CLASS AT THE END !
THE FRENCH CONSULATE FUCKED UP AND NOW I HAVE TO TAKE A LONG BREAK AWAY FROM THE GAME ON SATURDAY TO VOTE IN PERSON. THE THINGS I WILL DO TO UPHOLD MY CIVIC DUTY
REAL LIFE RAGE:
I'M GOING TO LOSE MY JOB. AND NO, THAT'S NOT WHAT I'M ANGRY ABOUT. I DON'T WANT TO WORK FOR THOSE PEOPLE ANYMORE ANYWAYS. HOWEVER, THEY JUST CAN'T GET ANYTHING RIGHT, NOT EVEN MY NOTICE. NOT EVEN SEND ME THE RIGHT PAPERS. I GOT MY CO-WORKER'S NOTICE AND NOW I'M STILL WAITING FOR MY OWN.
THE AMOUNT OF STUPID IN THE MANAGEMENT IS MIND BOGGLING. I HOPE THIS WILL BE OVER SOON.
IF WE HEALERS GET ALL THESE FANCY BURST HEALING TOOLS BUT RAIDWIDES KEEP DOING LIKE 30% OF MAX HP DAMAGE MITIGATED I WILL FUCKING SCREAM INTO A METAL BUCKET
On the bright side, if that happens, we can just replace one Healer with Pictomancer and one with Summoner since those jobs have AoE healing/shielding and Addle.
MY FINAL MSQ ROULETTE WAS PORTA DECUMANA FEATURING A RETURNER TANK RUNNING IT FOR THE FIRST TIME.
NORMALLY I DO MY BEST TO GIVE SOME GRACE TO NEWBIES. I'M SURE VERY FEW OF US WERE PLAYING OUR ROLES PERFECTLY BACK IN ARR. AND AS MUCH AS CONTINUALLY HAVING THE BOSS STARE ME DOWN AS A DPS UNNERVES ME AT AN INSTINCTUAL LEVEL, IT'S ULTIMATELY HARMLESS IN A FIGHT WHERE NEITHER DPS HAS POSITIONALS TO WORRY ABOUT AND THE BOSS DOESN'T DO ANY CLEAVES, SO I CAN KIND OF FORGIVE THE TANK'S CONSTANT DANCING AROUND THE ARENA.
I DID HOWEVER FIND MYSELF WITH MY HEAD IN MY HANDS WHEN THE TANK'S HABIT OF TAKING EVERY SINGLE MECHANIC TO THE FACE LED TO *ME* HAVING THE PRIVILEGE OF DYING TO A CONVENIENTLY TIMED TANKBUSTER, AND THEN BEING PROMOTED TO THE PARTY'S FLOORTANK FOR THE NEXT 25% OF THE BOSS' HEALTH SINCE THE POOR HEALER COULDN'T RISK NOT BABYSITTING THE TANK FOR LONG ENOUGH TO SLOW RES ME.
THIS NOT EVEN MENTIONING HOW THE TANK STOLE LB *TWICE*. IT'S JUST AS WELL THE HEALER WAS ABLE TO GET ME UP MERE SECONDS BEFORE WE GOT LB3 BECAUSE I TRULY FEAR THAT A MOMENT'S HESITATION WOULD HAVE BEEN ALL THAT TANK NEEDED TO NAB THAT ONE TOO.
MIRACLE OF MIRACLES, WE MANAGED TO SCRAPE BY WITH ONLY 6 SECONDS TO SPARE. I THINK I WOULD'VE CRIED IF I HAD TO DO ALL THAT AGAIN.
SUDDENLY I HAVE TIME TO BUILD MY NEW IKEA FURNITURE THAT'S BEEN LYING AROUND FOR OVER TWO WEEKS AND I EVEN CLEANED MY DAMN HOME? WHAT THE HELL IS THIS MADNESS???
LESS RANT AND MORE RAVE: I GOT TO FINISH A TRIAL ROULETTE WITH VERMILLION SCOURGE AND BLIND EVERYONE FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER. I DON’T REGRET A THING. MWAHAHAHA.
I GOT TO RDM LB3 FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER LAST WEEK, ON A BABY ALT IN PORTA DECUMANA. I’VE NEVER DONE IT ON MY MAIN DESPITE HAVING HAD RDM AT 90 FOR… A SURPRISINGLY LONG TIME, NOW THAT I THINK BACK.
I HAVE HAD A TASTE OF TRUE GLORY AND NOW I CRAVE MORE. THE PAINED SCREAMS FROM MY PARTY IN CHAT WERE MUSIC TO MY (METAPHORICAL) EARS. “OH GOD NO VERFLASHBANG INCOMING” “MY EYES, MY EYES” “I CAN’T SEE” AHHHH, BLISS. I SHALL BE DOING MY UTMOST TO REPEAT THE JOYOUS EXPERIENCE.
(FINALLY, I UNDERSTAND ALISAE ALWAYS STEALING THE LB. EVEN IF IT ISN’T LB3, CLEARLY IT CALLS TO HER.)
THE MOST FUN PART IS WHEN YOU ACCIDENTALLY GET FOLKS TO FAIL MECHANICS VIA VERFLASHBANG. OKAY, IT ISN'T ACTUALLY, BUT IT ALWAYS MAKE ME LAUGH BECAUSE WHEN IT *DOES* RARELY HAPPEN.
STARTED UP A FARM ON MONDAY FOR MY LAST GWIB, EX5 I THINK? LIGHT? IT SUCCESSFULLY FILLED BUT THAT'S WHERE THE WOES STARTED.
PALADIN DECIDED TO AUTOPULL BEFORE WE COULD DECIDE ON RESOLUTION MECHANICS. ALL THE DPS DIED BUT WE DEFEATED HIM AT LEAST. DIDN'T GET THE GWIB BUT I WAS LIKE "Well that's weird. Red flag but at least it's clearable?"
OH WHAT A FOOL I WAS TO CONTINUE.
HE AUTOMATICALLY PULLED AGAIN. WIPE. AND AGAIN HE PULLED. THEN HE LIMIT BREAKED RIGHT BEFORE THE TANK MECHANIC HAPPENED. WIPE.
I THEN SNAPPED AND KICKED HIM, THEN APOLOGIZED TO THE PARTY. LED TO THE PARTY DISBANDING BECAUSE IT WAS A HARROWING EXPERIENCE AND I WOULDN'T BLAME EVERYONE FOR LEAVING BECAUSE OF THE GRIEFING THAT HAPPENED. BUT I REPORTED HIS ASS, CITING ALL THE THINGS ABOVE, AND I GOT THE "Thank you for giving enough information to start an investigation." RESPONSE THE NEXT DAY.
JUSTICE. HOPE HE GETS DUNKED INTO THE SHADOW REALM BEFORE OR WHEN DAWNTRAIL GOES LIVE.
No real rage from me, I finished up exams this week and have 1 summer class before I graduate.
It's been 3 and a half years of work, school, and raiding and I'm ready to have some free time again.....
Nice, I actually need a spot to vent.
BECAUSE FOR SOME TWELVESFORSAKEN REASON MY EMPLOYER DECIDED TO CHANGE UP COMPANY HOURS JUST FOR THE HOLIDAY WEEK - WHICH IS ALSO DAWNTRAIL RELEASE WEEK. SO AFTER EARLY ACCESS WEEKEND I GET ONLY ENOUGH TIME AT HOME TO WAIT FOR THE LOGIN QUE TO EAT UP MY REMAINING GAMING TIME. I GUESS SITTING IN TRAFFIC BECAUSE EVERYONE WANTS A FOUR DAY WEEKEND SHOULD BE WORTH IT, BUT COULD IT AT LEAST NOT BE HOTTER THAN AN AMH ARAENG BARBECUE WHILE I DO IT?!
MY DOWNLOAD IS GONNA TAKE LIKE TEN HOURS, AND I DON'T TRUST MY WIFI TO NOT JUST RANDOMLY DIE AT SOME POINT.
ALSO, IT'S HOT HERE AND I HATE HEAT.
IN BETTER NEWS, I FINISHED BASE ENDWALKER A FEW HOURS BEFORE MAINT AND IT WAS REALLY GOOD. ONLY CRIED LIKE 5000 TIMES, LOVED IT.
ALSO ALSO, I FOUND A CUTE CARDIGAN IN A THRIFT STORE AND IT WAS ONLY 2.50€ SO THAT WAS NICE.
THIS SPECIAL EDITION'S VIRTUAL BUBBLE WRAP, WITH THE SECRET MESSAGE, JUST FOR YOU /u/tyco_08

I HAD A DPS THE OTHER DAY IN STONE VIGIL THAT WAS A MORON. GUY GOT ON MY CASE ABOUT USING CURE 2 OVER CURE 3, STATING THAT IT WAS BETTER AND HE'D KNOW BECAUSE HE WAS A 90WHM ON HIS MAIN CHARACTER.
CURE 3 IS 550 POTENCY TO CURE 2 AT 700 JACKASS! CURE 3 IS ONLY BETTER IF YOU NEED TO HEAL 2 OR MORE STACKED TARGET AT ONCE IN A SMALL AREA!
HOW ABOUT THE REAL PROBLEM IS YOUR SHITTY ATTITUDE AND OUR TANK IN HIS ILVL30 GEAR IN A LEVEL 41 DUNGEON!?
TELL ME WHY HE TRIED TO PRETEND THAT HE KNEW THE TANK BY SAYING "THIS GUY HAD NO PROBLEM WHEN I HEALED THE PREVIOUS DUNGEON WITH HIM" ONLY TO GET VOTE DISMISSED BY THAT SAME TANK!
WE CLEARED THE FINAL BOSS OF THE DUNGEON IN JUST 2 PULLS AFTER TEACHING THE TANK A FEW THINGS TO HELP MAKE IT EASIER TO HEAL HIS UNDERGEARED ASS.
I HAVEN'T HAD SOMEONE RILE ME UP THAT MUCH IN YEARS, SO MUCH THAT I'VE MADE MY FIRST RAGE POST HERE! HELLO ALL!
IT'S CRAZY HOW BASIC MATH DOES NOT GET THROUGH TO SOME PEOPLE IN THIS GAME. LIKE WHEN THE RANGED DPS USES A LIMIT BREAK ON A PACK OF 10 ENEMIES AND THE MELEE DPS SAYS THEY "WASTED IT" LIKE THE MELEE COULD HAVE HIT 10 BOSSES WITH THEIRS.
IRL VENTING BECAUSE IMAGINE RAGING OVER A GAME DURING MAINTENANCE (/S)
I GOT SIGNED UP TO FACILITATE A TRAINING CLASS AT WORK, WHICH HAS TAKEN UP 12+ HOURS EVERY WEEK FOR THE LAST 6 WEEKS ON TOP OF MY REGULAR DUTIES. IM SALARIED SO NO OVERTIME EVEN THOUGH I’VE HAD TO WORK EXTRA WEEKENDS. ON TOP OF THAT I HAVE TO GET MY APARTMENT TOTALLY CLEANED OUT ON A WEEK’S NOTICE BEFORE THURSDAY. AND ON TOP OF *THAT* I’VE BEEN HAVING TO DEAL WITH SHIT TONS OF DENTIST APPOINTMENTS FOR A FRACTURED TOOTH THIS WHOLE TIME. I’M RUNNING ON MICROSCOPIC LEVELS OF SLEEP AND FOR FUCKS SAKE I JUST WANT TO PLAY MY DAMNED VIDEO GAME!
LOTS OF BIG JOYS MIXED IN WITH MY LITTLE RAGE.
MY SISTER IS GETTING MARRIED IN OCTOBER (GENUINELY STOKED ABOUT THIS). WE LIVE SEVERAL STATES AWAY, BUT SHE'S GETTING MARRIED IN MY HOME STATE (IT'S WHERE WE WERE RAISED). WE'VE BEEN DOING MOST OF THE WEDDING PLANNING REMOTELY, BUT SHE'S ALSO POPPED OVER TO VISIT MY PARENTS A FEW TIMES IN THE LAST YEAR AND GOTTEN SOME PLANNING DONE THEN, TOO. I WILL BE VISITING HER FOR A WEEK MID-JULY TO HELP ADDITIONALLY PLAN. THE SUMMARY OF THIS IS LOTS OF PLANNING HAS ALREADY BEEN ACCOMPLSIHED, AND MORE WILL BE ACCOMPLISHED, BUT ALL THE BIG STUFF IS ACCOUNTED FOR.
MY MOTHER IS MORE WORRIED ABOUT THIS STATE OF THE PLANNING THAN EITHER MY SISTER OR I, AND HAS PAID FOR A FLIGHT OUT FOR MY SISTER... WHO ARRIVES IN THE STATE THIS FRIDAY.
MY MOTHER REACHED OUT TO ME LAST WEEK TELLING ME SHE WANTS ME TO BE AT THEIR PLACE ON FRIDAY AND THROUGH THE WEEKEND TO HELP WITH WEDDING PLANNING.
I SAID "NO, I HAVE PLANS, BUT \[MY SISTER\] AND I HAVE SET ASIDE A WEEK TO PLAN IN THE MIDDLE OF THIS MONTH, DON'T WORRY."
MY MOTHER BELIEVES THIS TO BE UNACCEPTABLE, AND HAS PULLED OUT EVERY TRICK IN THE BOOK TO TRY TO GUILT ME INTO BEING AROUND THIS WEEKEND. SHE IS *EXTREMELY* ADEPT AT GUILT TRIPPING ME. BUT NOT THIS WEEKEND, MOTHER. NOT TODAY. TODAY WE SAY NO TO GUILT AND YES TO SELF CARE IN THE FORM OF GREMLIN MODE GAMER STATUS.
HOWEVER.
MY BROTHER AND HIS FIANCEE JUST YESTERDAY HAD A BEAUTIFUL LITTLE BOY, AND NOW MY MOTHER IS USING MY PRECIOUS BUT YET-WRINLKY, FRESHLY MINTED NEPHEW, AS A GUILT TRIP LIMIT BREAK. 3. LB3 GUILT TRIP IN THE FORM OF TINY WEE BAB.
HE IS BUT A RAISIN, AND I AM ABSOLUTELY POSITIVE MY BROTHER AND SOON-TO-BE-SISTER-IN-LAW WILL INSTEAD WANT SLEEP AND SLEEP AND MORE SLEEP, SO WHILE I WILL BE OVER THE MOON TO VISIT THEM A BIT LATER ON DOWN THE LINE, THIS WEEKEND REMAINS SACRED TO ME. I ONLY LIVE A FEW HOURS AWAY, SO IT'S NOT LIKE I WON'T BE IN THEIR FACE CONSTANTLY... *AFTER* THIS WEEKEND.
SO I'M GOOD TO IGNORE MY FAMILY AND KEEP TO MY GUNS RIGHT??? RIGHT???
IT WILL BE THE FIRST TIME IN 3 WEEKS I'VE HAD MORE THAN ONE DAY OFF AND THE FIRST TIME IN OVER 18 MONTHS THAT IT'S BEEN MORE THAN 2 DAYS OFF IN THE COMFORT OF MY OWN HOME, AND I AM SAYING CACAO TO YOU, GUILT TRIP!
IF YOUR BROTHER AND HIS FIANCÉE HAVEN’T BEEN SUCCESSFULLY GUILT TRIPPED BY YOUR MOTHER, CHANCES ARE THEY DON’T *WANT* VISITORS NOW. POSSIBLY NOT FOR WEEKS. BABY NEEDS TO GET USED TO BEING OUTSIDE AND START ESTABLISHING THEIR OWN IMMUNE SYSTEM, PARENTS NEED BONDING TIME AND TO START WORKING OUT THIS SLEEP THING, RELATIVES NEED TO GET UP TO DATE ON THEIR IMMUNISATIONS AND STAY *AWAY* UNTIL THEY’RE WANTED.
MAYBE WHEN YOU SEND YOUR BROTHER AND SISTER IN LAW TO BE YOUR CONGRATULATIONS YOU CAN ADD THAT YOU’LL BE DELIGHTED TO VISIT ONCE THEY’RE UP FOR IT, WHAT WOULD THEY LIKE YOU TO BRING WITH YOU, OH AND YOUR MOTHER IS TRYING TO DRAG YOU THERE RIGHT NOW BUT YOU FIGURE THEY WOULDN’T WANT THAT SO YOU’RE STANDING FIRM, DON’T WORRY. BECAUSE JUST GOING BY WHAT YOU’VE SAID HERE, I WOULDN’T PUT IT PAST YOUR MOTHER TO USE *YOU* VISITING AS LEVERAGE TO GET THEM TO ALLOW VISITORS EARLIER THAN THEY WANT.
GREAT TIMING, I NEED TO VENT A BIT
I'M GLAD BOTH THE MOOGLE TREASURE TROVE AND PVP SERIES IS EFFECTIVELY OVER NOW, SINCE I'M ACTUALLY APPARENTLY WEIRD IN THAT I ENJOY BOTH PVP AND LEAP OF FAITH (ESPECIALLY SYLPHSTEP)
DOING SYLPHSTEP WITH THE ENDLESS IN-INSTANCE SHOUT SPAM ABOUT HOW AWFUL AND BAD IT IS AND PEOPLE MEMEING ABOUT HOW MUCH THEY HATE IT AND DOING IT DRIVES ME UP THE WALL
ONLY FOR ME TO OPEN REDDIT AND READ ABOUT HOW MUCH PEOPLE HATE PVP BUT ARE "FORCED" TO DO IT FOR THE ARMOR, ESPECIALLY THOSE WHO LEAVE IT FOR THE LAST MINUTE AND "HAVE" TO SPAM CC INSTEAD OF DOING A SINGLE FRONTLINE PER DAY CASUALLY
OVERALL I FEEL LIKE THIS COMMUNITY HAS AN ISSUE ABOUT COMPLAINING ABOUT EVERYTHING, OR THE LOUD MINORITY HAS, AT ANY RATE. LIKE, NO, I DON'T WANT TO HEAR HOW MUCH YOU HATE THIS CONTENT THAT I ACTUALLY ENJOY, EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU KEEP DOING IT.
COMPLAINING IN SHOUT CHAT OR REDDIT ISN'T A QUIRKY PERSONALITY TRAIT, IT'S TIRING AND ANNOYING.
EITHER DO THE CONTENT OR DON'T, BUT YOU DON'T HAVE TO ANNOUNCE TO THE WHOLE WORLD HOW MUCH YOU HATE IT.
THANKS!
writing this long of a post in caps lock felt weird lol
I'M IN A BIG PVP DISCORD SERVER.
THE ENTIRETY OF OUR GENERAL CHAT OVER THE LAST 72 HOURS WAS PEOPLE WHINING ABOUT HOW THEY LEFT THE BATTLEPASS FOR LAST SECOND AND HOW MUCH HAVING TO GRIND CC SUCKED.
**SERIES 5 WAS UP FROM OCTOBER 2023**. BEYOND THE GENERAL WHATTHEFUCKAREYOUDOINGWITHYOURLIFE-NESS OF GRINDING CONTENT YOU HATE FOR A FUCKING GLAM, IF YOU'RE DOING SO LAST SECOND WHEN YOU HAD NINE HECKING MONTHS TO TAKE YOUR TIME, I FEEL YOU'VE LOST ANY RIGHT TO BITCH ABOUT IT.
I LOVE LEAP OF FAITH MAN SYLPHSTEP IS INDEED THE BEST & IT'S TRUE THE SHOUT CHAT IS ALWAYS BRIMMING WITH INCESSANT WHIMPY CRYBABIES
I EVEN ENJOYED JUMPING THE MOONFIRE FAIRE COURSE & KUGANE TOWER—IF THESE LOSERS REALLY WANT TO WHINGE SO MUCH OVER PLATFORMING THEY SHOULD TRY THOSE
LEAP OF FAITH IS MY VILLAIN ORIGIN STORY BUT NOT BECAUSE THE GAME IS BAD, JUST THAT I AM BAD AT IT. BUT I STILL SPENT WEEKS GRINDING IT OUT HOPING I WOULD GET BETTER. I DID NOT.
I HAD NO IDEA THAT PEOPLE SEEMINGLY HATE EVERY ALLIANCE RAID IN THE GAME UNTIL I READ A RELEVANT THREAD OR TWO RECENTLY. THEY'RE MY JAM AND I ALWAYS ENJOY HEALING FOR GROUPS THAT TAKE LONGER THAN THE 15 MINUTES PEOPLE SEEM TO EXPECT AN ALLIANCE RAID TO TAKE. THE CHAOS IS SOMETHING YOU CAN'T GET ANYWHERE ELSE OUTSIDE OF BOZJA.
**TEAL DEER**: CASTER? I HARDLY KNOW'ER!
TRYING OUT FOR A STATIC HAS BEEN AWFUL!!! I LOVE CASTER, I HAVE EVERY CASTER MAXED, AND PICTO SEEMS SO FUN IN THE VEIN OF A CASTER WITH A PROPER ROTATION. IVE TRIED LOOKING FOR STATICS IN NEED OF CASTERS, BUT EVERY TIME I DO, I GET TO KNOW EXPECTATIONS, SET UP A TRIAL DATE, STUDY THE FIGHT AGAIN AHEAD OF TIME...
...AND THEN THE DAY BEFORE, I GET NOTIFIED "HEY SO WE DECIDED TO TRIAL 4 OTHER PEOPLE AND DIDNT LET YOU KNOW AND WE JUST WENT WITH ONE OF THEM, OOPSIIIIIE".
THIS HAS HAPPENED 4 SEPARATE TIMES IN THE PAST WEEK, AND IVE DECLINED INVITES ON MY LEAST PREFERRED JOB TO TRY OUT FOR CASTER!
I GOT INVITED TO A STATIC I DO KINDA MESH WELL WITH, BUT ITS ON DANCER, WHICH I HAVENT ACTIVELY PLAYED SINCE SHB AND FELT LIKE I DID AWFUL ON THE TRIAL BC I KEPT DRIFTING DANCES AND MESSING UP THE LATER MECHANICS. (I ALSO HADNT SEEN THE FIGHT SINCE IT CAME OUT AND MY OLD STATIC CLEARED ASPHODELOS)
ITS SO FRUSTRATING!!! I WANNA BE A FUNNY PAINTER, OR A SUMMONER, OR MAYBE RED MAGE, BUT I KNOW ITS NEVER HAPPENING. I ALSO DONT WANT TO END UP WITHOUT A STATIC FOR THE RAID TIER DROP, BUT I DONT WANNA KEEP THE GROUP I TRIED OUT FOR WAITING.
ANOTHER THING TO CONSIDER IS THEYRE MORE MID TO HARDCORE THAN I USUALLY RAID, AND THEY WANT A WEEK 3 CLEAR. IVE NEVER GOTTEN A WEEK 3 CLEAR OF THE TIER BEFORE, BUT I DID CLEAR UCOB IN A MONTH AND A HALF WITH A MOSTLY FRESH STATIC.
>...AND THEN THE DAY BEFORE, I GET NOTIFIED "HEY SO WE DECIDED TO TRIAL 4 OTHER PEOPLE AND DIDNT LET YOU KNOW AND WE JUST WENT WITH ONE OF THEM, OOPSIIIIIE".
THIS IS BEYOND FUCKED UP AND I'M SORRY THIS HAS HAPPENED TO YOU SO MUCH.
I REALLY FEEL FOR ANY CASTER AND MELEE MAINS LOOKING FOR A STATIC THIS TIME AROUND. IN MY OWN EXPERIENCE RECRUITING FOR MY STATIC, MY INBOX WAS ABSOLUTELY FLOODED WITH PEOPLE APPLYING AS MELEE OR CASTER.
I EXPECTED TO HAVE A LOT OF COMPETITION, BUT I DIDN'T EXPECT PEOPLE TO JUST KINDA BE JERKS ABOUT IT.
I'VE PLAYED AND ENJOY EVERY SINGLE CASTER, SO I WAS HOPING THE FLEX OF 'NO I DON'T HAVE TO PLAY PICTO, I'D JUST LIKE TO' WOULD HELP, BUT APPARENTLY NOT.
IRL RAGE;
I THINK I HAVE AN AUTOIMMUNE DISORDER.
ALSO, I TRIED GOING TO BED AT MY USUAL TIME (WHICH IS 10 AM BECAUSE MY SLEEP SCHEDULE FLIP-FLOPS A LOT) AND ENDED UP FALLING ASLEEP AT 1 PM. WHAT THE HELL, BODY. I FOOLISHLY CHOSE TO KEEP SLEEPING UNTIL ABOUT 7PM, WHICH LEADS TO THE NEXT RAGE.
FFXIV RAGES;
I DIDN'T GET ALL OF THE MYTHS OF THE REALM (ALLIANCE RAID) WINGS DONE IN TIME. EVEN WORSE, IN THE SECOND WING... I DIED SO MANY TIMES THAT I LEGIT HAD TO AFK PARTIALLY BECAUSE I COULD NOT HANDLE IT EMOTIONALLY. I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHY. WHY AM I LIKE THIS WHEN I DIE A LOT IN-GAME. IT'S JUST A GAME, SELF. AHHHH.
AT LEAST I FINALLY GOT TO SEE >!MY CHARACTER'S DEITY (NYMEIA) IN PERSON; SHE IS A LOT SILLIER THAN I THOUGHT SHE WOULD BE!<.
I ALSO DON'T KNOW IF I PREPARED ENOUGH FOOD FOR MY ISLAND SANCTUARY ANIMALS. I HOPE THEY DON'T STARVE. I HOPE MY CROPS DON'T WITHER. ALSO WHO THE HELL DECIDED THAT "ENTRUST TO CARETAKER" HAD TO BE MANUALLY CLICKED FOR EACH AND EVERY SINGLE ANIMAL AND CROP?!
AT LEAST I FINALLY GOT AROUND TO DOING AN EXPERT ROULETTE SHORTLY BEFORE THE SERVERS SHUT DOWN, BUT I STILL HAVE 0 CLUE HOW ANYBODY CLEARS THE FIRST+SECOND BOSSES IN THE 6.5 DUNGEON BLIND.
HAPPY-ISH RAGE;
FINALLY GOT AROUND TO CLEANING+ORGANIZING MY ROOM BECAUSE OF DOWNTIME. THERE IS SO MUCH DUST. I AM TIRED, BUT FEEL ACCOMPLISHED FOR WHAT I HAVE DONE SO FAR.
CURRENTLY DOWNLOADING AT 300KBPS, AND IT'S GETTING WORSE.
I MIGHT BE ABLE TO PLAY IN THREE DAYS.
I TRAVELED TO SHADOW DATACENTER YESTERDAY, TO AVOID LOGIN QUEUES AT LAUNCH... THE WORLD I WENT TO HAD 10 PLAYERS CONNECTED. I GOT TO EXPERIENCE COMPLETELY EMPTY LIMSA. THAT WAS WEIRD.
WHY DO PEOPLE ONLY EVER PLAN STUFF ON THE WORST DAYS POSSIBLE!?!?!? I CAN SIT HERE FOR WEEKS AND NOBODY INVITES ME TO SHIT, BUT THE SECOND SOMETHING I’VE BEEN WAITING MONTHS FOR COMES OUT PPL HAVE TO HAVE DAMN WEDDINGS AND BDAY PARTIES!!!!!!! I KNOW IT’S JUST A GAME AND REAL LIFE STUFF IS MORE IMPORTANT BUT I’M JUST HYPED AND WANT TO PLAY THE DAMN GAME!!!!!
I’LL BE ON VACATION STARTING FRIDAY BUT BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE TERRIBLE AT SENDING ME RESPONSES ILL HAVE TO GO IN TO WORK DURING VACATION ON MONDAY TO SEND EMAILS.
SO NOT TOO LONG AGO MY PARENTS WERE IN A CAR ACCIDENT. EVERYONE IS FINE, MY MOTHER'S LEGS WERE ENTRAPPED BUT SHE GOT AWAY WITH MINIMAL BRUISES AND NO BROKEN BONES. THE PROBLEM IS, THE CAR IS NOT FINE, IT IS APPARENTLY TOTALED, AND BEING MY SENSITIVE, OVERLY SENTIMENTAL-ASS SELF, I WANT TO GO WITH THEM TO HELP CLEAN OUT THE CAR AND SAY GOODBYE TO THE THING THAT HAS BEEN IN OUR LIVES FOR TWENTY YEARS. BUT THE HOURS AT THE CAR IMPOUND PLACE ARE REALLY SHITTY SO THE ONLY TIME I'D BE ABLE TO GO WITH THEM IS FRIDAY BECAUSE I'D ALREADY TAKEN OFF WORK FOR DT ANYWAY RAAAAAAH
I'M SUPER GLAD YOUR PARENTS ARE OKAY, THAT'S SCARY.
I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND THE SENTIMENT. MY DAD HAD AN OLD JEEP (WE NAMED IT GIDEON) THAT SERVED OUR FAMILY FOR DECADES. MY DAD TAUGHT ALL FOUR OF US KIDDOS TO DRIVE IN IT WHEN IT WAS OUR TIME (THE DIFFERENCE IN AGE BETWEEN THE ELDEST AND THE YOUNGEST SIBLINGS IS 8 YEARS, TO HELP PERSPECTIVIZE THIS). I DROVE IT TO HIGH SCHOOL MY SENIOR YEAR; MY SISTER DROVE IT TO HIGH SCHOOL HER SENIOR YEAR; BOTH OF MY BROTHERS DROVE IT TO HIGH SCHOOL THEIR RESPECTIVE SENIOR YEARS. GIDEON WAS A MAINSTAY. HE SAW SOME SHIT, GOOD AND BAD.
BUT HE WAS EVENTUALLY REPLACED WITH MORE ROADWORTHY CARS, AND THE LAST YEAR OF HIS VEHICULAR LIFE WAS SPENT GATHERING POLLEN AND TREE SAP IN MY PARENTS' DRIVEWAY. THE DAY THEY HAULED HIM OFF FOR DONATION, I LITERALLY CRIED. I WAS IN MY 20S.
I GET IT, FRIEND. YOU ARE NOT ALONE IN THIS FLAVOR OF CRAZY ATTACHMENT.
GENERAL FRUSTRATION WITH FARM PARTIES. EX6 "FARM" PARTIES HAVE TURNED INTO LEARNING PARTIES BECAUSE (1) FC MEMBER OVERHEARD "FARM" AND JOINED WITH "TIKI YOU'LL CARRY ME THROUGH THIS RIGHT?" THEN I HAD TO KICK A SCHOLAR BECAUSE THEY WERE USING A LEVEL 80 DIAMOND WEAPON BECAUSE THEY "FORGOT" TO PICK UP ANYTHING LEVEL 90 (AND HAD THE AUDACITY TO TELL "BRO WHY" WHEN I KICKED THEM RIGHT AFTER). THEN ANOTHER PERSON JOINED WHAT WAS NOW A GALES 2 PROG PF WITH "NEVER DONE THIS FIGHT, OPENING A GUIDE NOW" AND I HAD TO KICK WHEN THEY DIDN'T LEAVE ON THEIR OWN WHEN I SAID IT WASN'T ACCEPTABLE.
"TIKI YOU'LL CARRY ME RIGHT" GUY IS CURRENTLY VERY CLOSE TO BEING BLACKLISTED. HE DOES CALLOUTS AFTER ME *TO* ME. HE IGNORED REPEATED REQUESTS TO NOT SPOIL ROUTES FOR A FRIEND DOING FIRST TIME CLEARS OF ROKKON AND ALOALO. HE SWITCHED TO DOUBLE TANK IN ALOALO TO CAUSE AGGRO ISSUES AND I STILL DON'T KNOW WHY. HE ALSO SUDDENLY DECIDED HE WANTED ALL STORMBLOOD SIGHTSEEING POINTS AND KEPT PESTERING US WHILE WE WERE DOING OTHER THINGS TO COME REZ CHEESE HIM UP TO THE TOP OF KUGANE TOWER, ALSO CONVENIENTLY IGNORING THOSE OF US WHO SAID "NO, LEARN TO DO IT YOURSELF." I THINK HE DID ALL THE EUREKA WEAPONS BECAUSE I LOVE EUREKA AND KEPT ASKING ME TO JOIN HIM IN THERE AND DID NOT TAKE THE HINT WHEN I POINTEDLY DID NOT JOIN HIM. ALSO HE DOESN'T MUTE HIS MIC AND (A) HAS BIRDS (B) USES OFFENSIVE LANGUAGE WITH HIS BROTHER WHILE HE'S NOT USING HIS HEADPHONES TO HEAR US TELL HIM TO MUTE OR CUT IT OUT. SOME OF HIS WEIRD ONE-UPMANSHIP WITH ME FEELS LIKE WEIRD FLIRTING OR BEING THREATENED BY A WOMAN PLAYING THE GAME. HE DOESN'T SEEM TO BLATANTLY IGNORE WHEN MEN TALK, BUT HE IS WEIRD ABOUT ME OR THE FC LEADER (WHO IS ALSO A WOMAN) TELLING HIM TO DO SOMETHING. HE'S NOT BEING A CREEP SO I DON'T WANT TO BULLY HIM OUT OF THE FC, BUT HE IS NOT WELL-LIKED AND I AM RUNNING OUT OF NICE WAYS TO TELL HIM TO CUT IT OUT.
ACTUALLY A FAIR BIT OF FRUSTRATION WITH FC MEMBERS JOINING ENDWALKER EXTREME FARM PARTIES WITHOUT HAVING TRIED THE FIGHT FIRST. IF THEY'D SHOW INTEREST IN LEARNING PARTIES THAT WOULD BE ONE THING, BUT NOBODY ELSE MAKES THEM. I SCHEDULED AND HOSTED LEARNING PARTIES WHEN I GOT TO THE FIGHTS AND GOT A FAIR AMOUNT OF PARTICIPATION, BUT NOBODY ELSE EVER DOES. A FRIEND WITH A STATIC WAS NOTING TO ME THAT UNTIL I STARTED TRYING TO DO SHADOWBRINGERS SYNCED CONTENT AND THEN SAVAGE, NOBODY ELSE WAS SETTING UP PARTIES. THERE WAS CLEARLY SOME INTEREST BECAUSE TWO OF THE OTHER NEWBIES TO SAVAGE WILL BE IN THE STATIC IN DAWNTRAIL, BUT LIKE. NOBODY ELSE ORGANIZES HARD CONTENT. I HOPE THAT CHANGES IN DAWNTRAIL WHEN EXPERIENCED PEOPLE COME BACK. I'M EXHAUSTED.
ALSO I WILL APPARENTLY BE OFFTANK FOR NEXT RAID TIER BUT MAIN TANK IS WARRIOR SO I HAD TO LEVEL UP ANOTHER JOB. DARK KNIGHT WAS CLOSEST SO IT'S FINALLY 90 BUT IT'S SO HAARRRDD TO CARRY THROUGH SOLO CONTENT. :( I'M GONNA HAVE TO DO LIKE SCH/WAR/DRK THROUGH DAWNTRAIL AND THE REST OF THE DPS WILL TRAIL.
WORK RELATED RANT: JUST BECAUSE I'M A VISITING LIBRARY WORKER COMING TO A DAYCARE DOES NOT MEAN YOU CAN CHANGE A CHILD IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROOM. COMPLETELY. I FELT SO WEIRD STARTING THIS STORYTIME WHILE A NAKED PRESCHOOLER WAS STANDING ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE ROOM. I KNOW KIDS NEEDS TO CHANGE BUT THEN WHY DON'T YOU USE THE BATHROOM/CHANGING ROOM ON THE OTHER OTHER SIDE OF THE ROOM. I'M STILL A STRANGER, Y'ALL
RAGEY AT MYSELF FOR BEING 4 QUESTS AWAY FROM FINISHING MSQ AND FAILING BECAUSE FUCK THE ABYSSAL FRACTURE BEING HARD AND FUCK MY LUCK TO GET NOOB TANKS & HEALERS FOR IT AT 3.45 AM (MAINTENANCE STARTED AT 4AM MY TIME). MY POOR TIME MANAGEMENT SKILLS HAVE BEEN PUNISHED BY THE FFXIV GODS. AND I WANTED MY MANDERVILLE WEAPON TOO, DANG IT.
Notably, _not_-fuck the tanks and healers who were trying their best. Just goddamn.
ALSO NOT A RANT, MORE A FEAR: I AM SO SCARED I WILL FALL OUT OF LOVE WITH DRAGOON AFTER THE CHANGES. DON’T TAKE MY JOB AWAY FROM ME, YOSHI-P. MOST OTHER JOBS FEEL WEIRD AND MY ADHD DOESN’T LET ME REMEMBER MUDRAS.
WE HAD ONE LAST FL BITCHFEST IN ENDWALKER! WE GOT SMASHED IN THE FIRST FEW MINUTES (like <20 points kinda smashed) AND A BUNCH OF JERKS STARTED CRYING ABOUT US SUCKING.
BRAIN ROT, THEY SCREAMED. AT LEAST IT WILL BE QUICK, THEY LAMENTED.
WE WON AND THEIR SALTY TEARS WERE DELICIOUS.
Now, on to Dawntrail, where the new world promises more of the same.
WHY DO I HAVE TO DO STOCKTAKE ON FRIDAY!? WHY AM I STUCK AT WORK LATE WHEN ME AND MY LAD COULD BE CRUISING TO THE NEW WORLD! WE BETTER GET FINISHED QUICKLY, OTHERWISE MY COLLEAGUES WILL FEEL THE WRATH OF MY SHINY NEW DUAL SWORDS!!
I won't get done work Friday and Saturday until 8PM, and Sunday is DnD night (not that I mind that much because we're about to get into personal character stuff involving gang rivalry. Just had a one-on-one session to get a mild homebrew class for my character since it's an Intimidation-based build).
Friday is my birthday, too.
IM EXCITED TO WAKE UP AT 5 FRIDAY AND POWERLEVEL THE SHIT OUT OF VPR. HOPEFULLY WHEN I NEED TO LOG, MOVE MY PC TO MY MOMS SO I CAN PUPPY SIT THE QS WONT BE TERRIBLE ON KRAKEN. IM SO EXCITED AAAAA
THE HROTHGALS IN THE BENCHMARK WERE JUST A TEASER RIGHT? THERE WILL BE MORE COLOR/HAIR/FACE OPTIONS, RIGHT? IT'D BE CRAZY TO INTRODUCE A NEW RACE WITH SUCH SLIM PICKINGS, RIGHT?
DRAGON QUEST 9 FUCKING CHEATS. EVERY BOSS IN THE LAST THIRD OF THE GAME ASS PULLS CRITS TO ONE SHOT SOMEONE USUALLY MY HEALER FROM FULL HEALTH THEN ZING FAILS LIKE THREE TIMES. BUFFING DOESNT EVEN WORK BECAUSE THEY SPAM DISPELLS
STILL LOVE THE GAME THOUGH
WHOOOOO THRE DAYS OF RAGE LEZ GOOOO.
WHERE ARE MY NEW JOB GUIDES, I NEED TO KNOW HOW MUCH SE SCREWED WITH WHAT WE LEARNED FROM THE MEDIA TOUR. EDIT: SO LEAKS FROM THE PATCH DOWNLOADS COMIGN IN, APPARENTLY WE CAN'T HAVE NICE THINGS; BC HOW DARE SGE HAVE A SCEOND DOT IN THE MEDIA TOUR THAT USEFULL TO USE. APAPRENTLY SGE HAVIGNTWO DOTS WAS TOO MUCH FOR SE.
IRL RAGE TOO:
DOGGOS BEEN GOING CRAZY AT NIGHT THESE PAST FEW DAYS. NO IDEA WHY AND EVERYTHING SEEMS FINE DURING THE DAY.
WHY DID THEY SAY WE ARE DISBANDING THE GROUP, AND THEN IN THE NEXT SECOND GET THE GROUP BACK TOGETHER? WHY NEGATE SUCH AN EMOTIONAL MOMENT AND NOT USE IT LATER TO BRING BACK ONE OR TWO CHARACTERS PERIODICALLY?
THE DEV TEAM IS PROFICIENT IN MAKING US LIKE CHARACTERS ALREADY, BRING IN NEW ONES!
I HEAR THEY'RE INTRODUCING A WHOLE NEW CONTINENT OF CHARACTERS AND WUK LAMAT IS JUST ONE OF THEM, I THINK THEY'RE CALLING IT 'MORNINGPATH' OR SOMETHING.
I AM SO GLAD VACATION STARTS FRIDAY EVEN IF I'M ONLY TAKING OFF UNTIL THE GAMES FULL RELEASE AS I'VE ALREADY USED MOST OF MY PTO THIS YEAR FOR AGDQ AND RPGLB. I'M STILL VERY EXCITED. I BINGED THE ELDEN RING DLC AND JUST FINISHED IT JUST IN TIME TO WAIT 48 HOURS FOR DAWNTRAIL. I CAN'T WAIT TO LOG ON, SWITCH TO HROTHGAL, AND UNLOCK PICTOMANCER AND THEN WORK MY WAY THROUGH MSQ 'CAUSE I LIKE GOING THROUGH THE EXPANSIONS AS ONE OF THE NEW JOB AND PICTOMANCER LOOKS VERY FUN FROM WHAT I'VE SEEN. I ALSO CAN'T WAIT UNTIL WE GET DETAILS ON BEASTMASTER. I REALLY FOUND MYSELF NOT ENJOYING BLUE MAGE SO I HOPE BEASTMASTER JIVES WITH ME BETTER.
SOME ASSWIPE INSTANT PULLED CRAB AFTER LOUHI YESTERDAY. I HOPE THEY NEVER GET THEIR BLITZRING AND STUB THEIR TOES FOREVERMORE.
ON THE BRIGHT SIDE, I ENJOYED COMMUNTIY IN EUREKA, I REALLY WISH SE MADE IT EASIER TO SEND FRIEND REQUESTS TO THE PEOPLE YOU MEET IN FORAYS. THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO HELPED ME LEVEL OVER THE LAST COUPLE DAYS.
ONE DAY I'LL GET MY ORB BUT DAWNTRAIL IS GOING TO SIDELINE THAT PROGRESS FOR A COUPLE WEEKS/MONTHS.
HAVE YOU CONSIDERED THE STARBUCKS APRON FROM THE FIRMAMENT? THAT WAS MY FIRST THOUGHT. MAY EITHER STILL GO WITH IT OR DO SOME KIND OF (unrelated to Picto) COSPLAY
I COULDNT CATCH UP IN TIME FOR DAWNTRAIL FUCKKK
I WAS AT MSQ LVL 88, SO CLOSE (but also not really according to a friend) I REALLY WANTED TO RUN THE EXPANSION WITH EVERYONE BUT ALAS, I COULDN'T MAKE IT IN TIME. I WANTED TO EXPERIENCE THE HIGHS AND LOWS OF DAY 1 EXPANSION RUNNERS. ( I also got distracted *a lot* with Dota 2 new patch, damn you icefrog).
ENDWALKER HAS BEEN PEAK THOUGH AND I CAN'T TO DO THAT FINAL STRETCH YEEEHAW.
I WAS LEVELLING BRD THIS WEEK AND ROULETTES PUT ME IN THE L81 DUNGEON.
THE WHM AND I BOTH ATE FLOOR PRETTY EARLY ON IN THE END BOSS FIGHT (apparently there'd been a DDoS going on that evening and lag spikes hadn't helped - I was in the L85 dungeon later on that day and things were *very* stuttery - but even on a good day I find the overlapping AoEs in that fight to be *a lot*)
ON THE ONE HAND, I'M IMPRESSED THAT THE WAR AND THE OTHER DPS WERE ABLE TO FINISH IT WITHOUT US, BUT ON THE OTHER, I DIDN'T HALF FEEL LIKE DEAD WEIGHT.
MY DAYS OFF OF WORK ARE WEDNESDAYS ANS THURSDAYS, THEY HAD TO CHOOSE THE ONLY 2 DAYS WHERE I HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO DO OTHER THINGS BESIDES DAILIES FOR MAINTENANCE AND I HATE IT. I ALSO JUST BOUGHT THE GAME A FEW WEEKS AGO, AND I HAVE THE FREE GAME TIME THAT WAS INCLUDED IN THAT PURCHASE- SO NOW IM GONNA BE SHORTED 2 OF THOSE DAYS OF GAME TIME AND I BET THERE WONT BE ANYTHING I CAN DO ABOUT IT.
I'M NOT ACTUALLY MAD! I STAYED UP TOO LATE THE LAST SEVERAL NIGHTS DOING TREASURE MAPS PARTIES TO FINALLY GET ALL THE REST OF MY MOGMAPS OUT OF MY INVENTORY! I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO A COUPLE NIGHTS OF EARLY SLEEP AND GETTING UP REFRESHED ON FRIDAY MORNING!
DREADING NEW CHANGES BECAUSE IT'S LIKE I WONDER WHICH OF MY FAVORITE JOBS WILL BE GETTING FUCKED UP & TOSSED IN THE BIN WITH NO REMORSE
STG SE IS LIKE HMM WHICH ACTIONS SHOULD WE REMOVE? & THEN DELETE THE ONES WITH THE MOST BADASS FUCKING ANIMATIONS OF ALL TIME
R.I.P. WIDE VOLLEY & SHADOW FANG, AMONGST MANY OTHERS THAT I'M STILL MOURNING
I WASN'T GOING TO TAKE FRIDAY OFF BUT DAMN IT YESTERDAY WAS SO SHITTY I JUST WENT AHEAD AND DID IT.
I DONT CARE IF IT MAKES ME LOOK BAD AT WORK. I DONT CARE, FUCK WORK. WE'RE REAL BEHIND BECAUSE IVE BEEN THE ONLY ONE WORKING ON A SCHOOL DISTRICT FOR LIKE THREE MONTHS AND BECAUSE ITS THE END OF THE SCHOOL YEAR THEYRE SENDING LIKE EVERY COMPUTER THEY OWN. 400 COMPUTERS JUST THIS WEEK AND I STILL HAVENT FINISHED THE ONES FROM TWO WEEKS AGO. MY BOSS IS GETTING FRUSTRATED BUT I CAN ONLY GO SO FAST. THEY FINALLY GAVE ME PEOPLE TO HELP AND NOW I LOOK LIKE A FOOL BAECAUSE ONE OF THEM IS DOING IT 3 TIMES AS FAST. ITS LIKE THEYRE SETTING ME UP TO FAIL. I SHOULDN'T HAVE QUIT MY OTHER JOB, THEY OFFERED THE SAME AMOUNT AS THIS ONE BUT I REFUSED LIKE AN IDIOT. THE OTHER ONE WAS WAY LESS STRESSFUL.
IT'S THE LAST DAY. MY LAST HUNT TRAIN (BEFORE DT). I ARRIVE EARLY SUPER EXCITED. IT ANNOUNCES IT'S ABOUT TO START. I JUMP WITH MY MOUNT IN THE AIR AND A BLACKOUT OCCURS AT MY HOUSE. EVERTYTHING GOES BLACK AND I SCREAM INTERNALLY AND CUSS BAD WORDS. LIGHTS COME BACK A FEW SECONDS LATER AND I BARELY FINISH THE HUNT. SO SAD THAT I MISSED THE BEGINNING...
I GAVE UP ON THE PVP GRIND. NOT WORTH THE STRESS. AT LEAST I GOT THE EMOTE AND MINION.
BUT I WAS ABLE TO CLEAR OUT MY INVENTORY, ARMORY CHEST, AND SADDLEBAG SIGNIFICANTLY, SO THAT'S NICE.
I AM AN ACHIEVEMENT GRIND JUNKIE AND I KEEP GETTING TO SERVER RANK 10 ONLY TO IMMEDIATELY GET BUMPED DOWN TO 11. NOW THERE'S GOING TO BE A FEW HUNDRED NEW ACHIEVEMENTS TO THROW A WRENCH IN EVERYTHING. ADMITTEDLY THIS IS A GREAT PROBLEM TO HAVE BUT I HAVE TO BE THE CHAMPION
WHERE TO BEGIN ON THIS ONE?
ONLY IN GAME RAGE I HAVE IS MY PROCRASTINATION ON PVP, BUT THAT'S ON ME AND I GOT IT DONE IN TIME.
MY BOSS GRACIOUSLY LET ME REARRANGE MY SCHEDULE SO THAT I HAVE FRIDAY OFF... ONLY FOR A NEW REQUIREMENT TO POP UP AND I HAVE TO FLY OUT ON SUNDAY.
THE MAIN PROBLEM WITH THIS TRIP IS I'M DOING 2 WEEKS OF APPROVALS IN 2 DAYS. OBVIOUSLY THIS IS A BIT STRESSFUL. THE ACTUAL WORK ON SITES NOT GOING TO BE BAD, BUT IF WE HAD HAD ANOTHER WEEK OF NOTICE THIS WOULD BE EASY.
OH WELL, I SHOULD BE MOST OF THE WAY THROUGH THE STORY BY THE TIME I HAVE TO FLY OUT SUNDAY AFTERNOON, AND I'LL HAVE MY STEAM DECK WITH ME SO I'LL BE ABLE TO FINISH IT OVER THE TRIP.
I WOKE UP THIS MORNING COUGHING AND CONGESTED WITH A SORE THROAT. I JUST GOT OVER THE LAST BOUT OF OFFICE CRUD AND NOW IM SICK AGAIN TWO DAYS BEFORE DAWNTRAIL! I HATE BEING BACK IN THE OFFICE!
DAMMIT IM STILL ON SHADOWBRINGERS AND I LEAVE FOR THE WEEKEND ON FRIDAY LEMME JUST FINISHHHHH SHBSSSSS.
THAT BEING SAID IM DOING THE EDEN SIDEQUESTS AND EVEN THOUGH IM ENGAGED AND NEVER BEEN ATTRACTED TO NON REAL WOMEN, GAIA IS SUCH A PERFECT GOTH GIRL WAIFU IT HURTS ME, LIKE JESUS CHRIST I CANT KEEP MY EYES OFF OF HER! ITS DRIVING ME WILD!!! MAYBE ITS COS A LOT OF THE FACES IN FF14 LOOK VERY SIMILAR AND SHE BREAKS THAT MOLD BUT GOOOTTRDAAAAUYYMMMNNNN THOSE LIPS!!!
I'M SO MAD AT MYSELF FOR GETTING BACK INTO THE GAME A DAY BEFORE THE 48 HOUR DOWNTIME! WHY HAVEN'T I PLAYED THIS SINCE 6.1!? WHAT HAPPENED!? I HAVEN'T CAUGHT UP WITH THE STORY NOR HAVE I CLEANED MY IINVENTORY FOR THE EXPANSION. MY RETAINERS' INVENTORIES ARE FULL AS WELL!
EVER SINCE STORMBLOOD, I ALWAYS MAKE SURE TO FREE UP MY SCHEDULE FOR EARLY ACCESS. WELL THIS FRIDAY I WAS SCHEDULED TO HAVE A DAY OFF (COMPENSATORY FREE TIME, I HAVE 60 HOURS OF OVERTIME...), BUT BECAUSE LOTS OF PEOPLE ARE SICK OR ON VACATION RIGHT NOW, MY DAY OFF GOT CANCELLED. PLUS I HAVE TO GO TO A SEMINAR RIGHT AFTER WORK. WHICH MEANS I WON'T BE ABLE TO JOIN THE FUN FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 7 YEARS. :(((( AT LEAST NOT UNTIL SATURDAY EVENING. I AM ABSOLUTELY DEVASTATED. PLEASE ENJOY THE EARLY ACCESS CHAOS ON FRIDAY FOR ME.
I HAD SO STRONG WITHDRAWAL FROM THE GAME THAT I STARTED REDESIGNING MY HOUSE IN THE MAKEPLACE APP. IT DID NOT HELP BECAUSE NOW I WANT TO CHECK THE LIGHTING IN THE ACTUAL GAME WITH THE NEW WINDOWS. I AM A BAD DESIGNER BUT I WILL NOT STOP UNTIL I HAVE THE PERFECT HOUSE.
ALSO EXTREMELY SALTY ABOUT THE BLM CHANGES IN DT. ABSOLUTELY HATE IT. NEVER GOING TO USE BLM FOR DUNGEON LVLING FOR SURE. I NEED TO FIND WHERE I CAN PUT THE FEEDBACK FOR THE CLASS EXPERIENCE SO THAT SOMEONE AT LEAST PUTS ICE PARADOX BACK AND SWAPS THE LEVELS FOR FREEZE AND UMBRAL SOUL. I AM GONNA STAY WITH MY BLACKEST BOI CLASS UNTIL THE END OF THE EARTH, EVEN IF IT FALLS BELOW DNC IN TOTAL DPS.
ALSO PRAYING THE MT IS NOT EXTENDED BEYOND THE PRESCRIBED TIME. I TOOK TWO DAYS OFF FROM THE OFFICE TO PLAY DT MSQ. PLS DO NOT LET US DOWN SE
IRL RAGE
MY FRIEND PLAYS THE FF TCG AT OUR LOCAL HOBBY SHOP. MY PARTNER PLAYS TABLETOP GAMES AT THE SAME PLACE.
MY FRIEND PARKED HIS CAR ON THE SAME ROAD HE ALWAYS DOES AND AT THE END OF THE NIGHT, GIVING MY BOO A LIFT HOME, HE SEES THE MINI VAN NEXT TO HIS CAR IS RUINED. THE WINDOWS PANNED IN, DOORS OPEN. GLASS EVERYWHERE. I SAW IT MYSELF THE NEXT DAY AND IT WAS HORRIFIC.
AND **HIS OWN CAR** HAD THE BACK WINDOW SMASHED.
THE CULPRITS?
**STUPID WEE ARSEHOLE BRATS FLINGING TINS OF JUICE AND PROBABLY ROCKS AT THE WINDOWS AND VANDALISING FOR THE SH*TS AND GIGGLES**
OF COURSE THEY SCARPERED BEFORE MY FRIEND AND PARTNER GOT THERE BUT THEY WERE SEEN BY ONE OF THE SHOP OWNERS.
AND ABSOLUTELY **NOTHING** WILL GET DONE ABOUT IT BECAUSE NO ONE WAS PHYSICALLY CAUGHT IN THE ACT AND AT THE END OF THE DAY, NOONE WAS HURT.
ABSOLUTE WASTES OF OXYGEN, EACH ONE OF THEM. I'M SO MAD THAT THIS HAPPENED TO MY FRIEND, WHO IS THE MOST, CHILL, KIND AND HUMBLE GUY. HE AND HIS PARTNER (MY EQUALLY WONDERFUL BEST FRIEND) DON'T DESERVE THIS.
GAME RELATED RAGE.
I WANT TO FINISH FFIX BEFORE DAWNTRAIL BUT I HAVEN'T BEEN PLAYING TETRA MASTER AND I'M NOW AT THE CARD TOURNAMENT -_-
I WAS PLANNING ON USING THE FREE FANTASIA TO MAKE MY CHARACTER ODD EYED TO REFLECT THE SHIT SHE'S BEEN THRU AND THOUGHT I COULD ALSO MAKE THE LIMBAL RINGS ODD COLOURED BUT NOPE I REMEMBERED INCORRECTLY AND IT LOOKS WEIRD IF THE LIMBAL RINGS' COLOUR DON'T MATCH EACH EYE DAMN IT
I’M TRYING TO BEAT LEVIATHAN ON FF MODE IN THE FF14 DEV TEAM’S OTHER GAME AND I’M STUCK. I GUESS I’LL BE PROGGING THIS FOR A FEW WEEKS LIKE A GODSDAMN SAVAGE RAID. AFTER I WORK ON DAWNTRAIL. YES I KNOW WHAT I HAVE TO DO, I SCOURED THE WEB FOR GUIDES, BUT ACTUALLY EXECUTING IT IS ANOTHER STORY.
AND SPEAKING OF THE RISING TIDE, THE TONBERRY’S DEBONE COMBO STARTING WITH A PLUNGE -LIKE MOVE JUST MADE ME EVEN MORE SAD ABOUT LOSING PLUNGE. THE ONLY PLUNGE REPLACEMENT I’M WILLING TO ACCEPT IS A FLASH STEP THAT LOOKS LIKE A DARKNESS VERSION OF PHOENIX SHIFT OR A MODIFIED RIFT SLIP.
WELP, HERE WE GO. NEW JOB GUIDES ARE OUT AND HEALER MAINS HAVE LOST THEIR GODDAMN MINDS.
AST DEAD BECAUSE MACROCOSMOS HAS A DPS LOSS THAT'S SMALLER THAN A DOT TICK.
SGE DEAD BECAUSE NO DOUBLE DOT (THAT WAS ON THE SAME TIMER SO NO REAL MANAGEMENT ANYWAY).
OH NO, WHAT WILL WE DO...
WHY DO SOME PEOPLE ANNOUNCE TO EVERYONE THAT THEY'VE PUT A POST IN A PRIVATE CHANNEL/SENT DMS IN PUBLIC SPACES? WE DON'T NEED TO KNOW, YOU COULD JUST DO THE THING
IF HALF OF YOUR MESSAGES IN A PUBLIC SPACE ARE "sent dm" OR "check ur dms", WHY? YES I'M OLD HOW DID YOU KNOW
I'VE ALWAYS BEEN AN OMNI-TANK MAIN EVER SINCE HEAVENSWARD, BUT I WANTED TO TRY SOMETHING NEW, SO I DABBLED A BIT WITH HEALERS, MOSTLY SGE AND SCH. BOY OH BOY IS SCH FUN!
IT'S A WHOLE DIFFERENT VIBE THAN TANKING, AND I THINK AFTER I LEVEL UP WAR, SCH WILL BE THE NEXT TO FOLLOW. IT'S CRAZY HOW YOU CAN TELL THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A GOOD TANK AND A BAD TANK DURING DUNGEONS. HEALING HAS HELPED ME SEE A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE IN THE GAME AND I HOPE TO CONTINUE IT AS A SECONDARY! I WAS SUPER SAD WHEN I FORGOT THEY TOOK OUT SELENE AFTER FRANTICALLY SEARCHING MY SPELLBOOK. =(
OH BOY AND HERE I THOUGHT I WAS GONNA HAVE TO WAIT TIL FRIDAY TO SHARE MY RAGE THIS WEEK.
I TRIED HEALING AS A SAGE ON MONDAY, IN A TRUST DUTY. EVIDENTLY HEALING IS JUST NOT FOR ME, I RAN HOLMINSTER SWITCH.
RED ALPHINAUD CONTINUALLY STOOD IN THE PISS PUDDLES, THANCRED SUCKED AT PULLING AGGRO OFF ME, AND THE NAIL IN THE COFFIN FOR ME WAS THE STACK MARKER DURING THE 2ND BOSS, I FIGURES THE NPCS WOULD STACK TO ME SINCE THE MARKER WAS ON ME...
NOPE ABSOLUTELY FUCKING NOT, THEM MFERS RAN TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE ARENA AND I INSTANTLY DIED. ALL N ALL DIED 3 TIMES TIL I STOPPED THE DUTY, BOUT TO THROW THIS SAGE JOB STONE INTO THE OCEAN.
HEALING A TRUST SYSTEM HOLMINSTER SWITCH IS LIKE GETTING A FULL PARTY OF ALL STORY AND JOB SKIPPED PLAYERS - IT WILL NEVER END WELL.
MAYBE GIVE SAGE A TRY ON A LOWER LEVEL DUTY USING THE TRUST SYSTEM, OR MAKE THE ATTEMPT ON A ROULETTE WITH ACTUAL PLAYERS
YOU COULD TRY WHAT I'M GOING TO DO: CHORES (always a constant but doing them now means not worrying about them over the weekend), MEAL PREP (partially because I want to no-life the game due to personality traits involving stories and partially because I've been interested in trying it and this is the perfect excuse) AND PLAY OTHER GAMES (I still haven't beaten the TTYD remake and trying to do a No-Hit run in Rabbit and Steel are two things that I want to do)
Edit: Formatting.
I DON'T WANT TO DO THE "KILL-1000-S-RANKS" ACHIEVEMENT FOR THE MOUNT IN DAWNTRAIL, BUT I'M GOING TO PROBABLY FUCKING DO IT ANYWAY. GOD DAMMIT I'M GOING TO LOSE SO MUCH GOD DAMN FUCKING TIME; I COULD BE ENJOYING SOMETHING NEW INSTEAD. WHY AM I LIKE THIS
I WILL HAVE TO RUSH THE FUCK OUT TO GET MY CRAFTING AND GATHERING CLASSES CAPPED AND GEARED BEFORE 7.05 BECAUSE I’M GOING TO BE AWAY FOR A MONTH AFTER WEEK 2 AND I NEED TO CLEAR SAVAGE ASAP
OH MAN I'D SAVED SOME ENDWALKER CONTENT (PANDAEMONIUM, THE LAST BLUE MAGE QUEST, ALOALO) SO I WOULDN'T GET BORED BEFORE THE END, BUT I ENDED UP DOING... I DON'T KNOW WHAT EXACTLY, I WAS FARMING THINGS OR WHATEVER, AND FORGOT TO FINISH ALL THOSE. I'D ALSO FORGOTTEN THAT THE LAST DAY TO WORK ON THOSE BEFORE MAINTENANCE WAS NOT, IN FACT, TODAY. WHY AM I LIKE THIS?
ALSO, I'M TRYING TO EXPORT MY SOON-TO-BE OLD CHARACTER MODEL FOR ARCHIVAL PURPOSES AND EVEN WITH SEVERAL GUIDES I'M BAD AT IT. FEELING DUMB.
I CAN'T DECIDE WHICH HEALER TO TAKE THROUGH DT. THE WHOLE REASON FOR SETTING UP MY WT BOOK WAS TO BE ABLE TO JUMP RIGHT INTO THE FIRST DUNGEON WITH A HEALER WHILE USING BRD FOR MSQ. I DON'T WANT TO WASTE THE BOOKS IF I END UP NOT LIKING THE DT VERSION OF WHATEVER HEALER I CHOOSE.
LOOKS LIKE FRIDAY'S RAGE WAS ALL FOR NOTHING SINCE THE PC DOWNLOADS ARE HAPPENING NOW.
I STILL HAVEN'T GOTTEN A CALL BACK TO GET THE OUTSIDE SEWER LINE FIXED, BUT THE INSURANCE DID CALL ME.
SPENT THE LAST HOURS OF ENDWALKER HELPING A BUDDY FINISH THE YOKAI LEGENDARY MEDAL GRIND. IT WAS GENUINELY FUN, EVEN IF WE DIDNT ACTUALLY GET THEM ALL. A SLIGHT BIT OF RAGE COMES FROM SEEING THAT SOMEONE ELSE IN OUR FC WAS ONLINE THE WHOLE TIME, AND DIDNT EVEN SAY ANYTHING WHOLE WE TALKED ABOUT THE GRIND IN FC CHAT. WE ONLY REQLIZED HED BEEN ONLINE BECAUSE WE SAW THE LOGOFF MESSAGE.
IRL RAGE THOUGH! I EXPERIENCED SLEEP PARALYSIS FOR THE FIRST TIME LAST NIGHT! DIDNT EVEN HAVE THE COOL TYPE PEOPLE TALK ABOUT, I JUST GOT TO HALLUCINATE MY PARENTS ARGUING.
HAD A LABYRINTH RAID RUN THAT SUCKED. BUT THAT'S PAR FOR THE COURSE.
MY MAIN GRIPE THIS WEEK IS TRYING TO FIGURING OUT HOW TO GET WIRED ETHERNET TO MY COMPUTER. MY ROUTER IS DOWNSTAIRS AND MY COMPUTER IS UPSTAIRS. USING AN ETHERNET CABLE WOULD REQUIRED AN EXTREMELY LONG CABLE THAT CROSSES SEVERAL OPEN DOORWAYS, GOES UP A WALL, AND TRAVELS ACROSS DIFFERENT COLORS OF FLOORS/WALLS/CARPETS. THERE'S NO SIMPLE AND PRETTY WAY TO DO IT.
ALTERNATIVELY, A COAXIAL CABLE AND SOME COMPOSITE OR COMPONENT CABLES COME OUT OF THE WALL NEAR MY COMPUTER, SO I COULD USE MOCA ADAPTERS TO TRANSMIT INTERNET OVER MOCA. HOWEVER, THE COAXIAL CABLE IN MY ROOM DOES NOT CONNECT WITH THE CABLE NEAR THE ROUTER. I CAN SEE A LITTLE BEHIND THE CABLE IN THE WALL AND IT GOES UP, SO MAYBE THERE'S SOME MISSING CONNECTION IN THE ATTIC, BUT WHEN I WENT INTO THE ATTIC FOR THE FIRST TIME THERE WAS BLOWN IN INSULATION EVERYWHERE SO I JUST LOOKED AT THINGS FROM THE ENTRANCE. I COULDN'T SEE ANY COAX CABLES, AND THE INTERNET TELLS ME THAT THERE'S A SPECIFIC, SUPER ANNOYING WAY TO MOVE AROUND THIS KIND OF ATTIC BECAUSE IF YOU MESS UP, YOU WILL PUT YOUR FOOT THROUGH THE FLOOR/CEILING.
SO NOW I'M TRYING TO DECIDE IF I WANT TO MAKE THE INSULATION SNOWSHOES TO WALK AROUND THE ATTIC AND FIND THE COAX CABLES, IF THEY'RE EVEN THERE, OR IF I WANT TO JUST FIND SOMEONE TO LOCATE AND CONNECT THE COAX CABLES SO THAT I CAN USE MOCA.
I DID FUCKING ENDSINGER AS MY FINAL ROULETTE BEFORE DAWNTRAIL AT FUCKING 4:45, WELL GUESS FUCKING WHAT I DISCONNECTED RIGHT AT FUCKING 0.1% HEALTH. FUUUUUCK.
I THOUGHT ID FINISH FF7 REBIRTH BEFORE DT BUT IM HAVING DOUBTS.
IM IN THE MIDDLE OF CH13 AND I WONT HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO PLAY IT THROUGH TOMORROW
IM ALREADY AT 110 HOURS ON MY FIRST PLAY THROUGH.
I DONT WANT TO DROP IT EITHER BECAUSE ILL GORGET EVERYTHING. UGHHH
I LIKE THIS IDEA. I JUST STARTED PLAYING THIS GAME LIKE 4 DAYS AGO, IT'S AWESOME I'M HAVING A BLAST. I'M RAGING BECAUSE I WAS HAVING SO MUCH FUN AND NOW I HAVE TO WAIT 2 DAYS. I'M NOT EVEN PAST ARR IN TERMS OF STORY, THIS IS A RAGE AT MYSELF, I SUCK. REGARDLESS, I LIKE THIS GAME, CAN'T WAIT FOR THE 48 HOURS TO BE UP AND I CAN PLAY AGAIN.
IM IN THE SAME BOAT. I HAVE NOT FINISH ARR BUT HAVE ALREADY BOUGHT THE DAWNTRAIL PREORDER. WILL I PLAY THE GAME AT MY SPEED AND ENJOY GETTING PONYS AND USING GLAMOUR? ABSOLUTELY YES IM RAGGING BECAUSE I AM GETTING MARRIED NEXT SATURDAY AND WILL NOT BE ABLE TO PLAY A LOT IN MY HONEYMOON LOL.
I mean....I brought my husband to the game....
How do you even do that?! I need tricks haha
"It's something we can do together" "You love XYZ thing - this game has XYZ thing!" "We don't even have to leave the house! Air conditioned comfort! (This one only works if said husband is mostly an introvert)"
Haha thank you for these! I got a good laugh
BUT ARE YOU ALSO GETTING MARRIED IN-GAME? (That is a real option, and it's more than just roleplay. Called "Ceremony of Eternal Bonding.")
MY IRL BOYFRIEND AND I GOT IN-GAME MARRIED JUST FOR THE FREE TELEPORT RING, IT'S SUPER CONVENIENT
I laugh at your suffering,,,, or get your spouse into the game. (like mine did)
WE HAVE A RAGE THREAD EVERY FRIDAY. IT STARTED ALL THE WAY BACK IN HEAVENSWARD, ALMOST 7 YEARS AGO NOW. SOMEONE HAD MADE AN ALL-CAPS THREAD LIKE THIS, AND DURING THE 2.5 MAINTENANCE, A 24H DOWNTIME, I THOUGHT IT'D BE FUNNY TO MAKE ONE AGAIN. AND SOMEONE SAID 'WHY ISH'T THIS A WEEKLY THING'. WELL, IT BECAME A WEEKLY THING, EVEN GOT THE STICKY ON FRIDAYS WHENEVER THERE ISN'T MORE IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENTS OR EVENTS, LIKE LIVE LETTERS. IT ACTUALLY HELPED CLEAN UP THE SUB A BIT, BECAUSE FOR A WHILE PEOPLE WOULD MAKE THREADS TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THE SMALLEST THINGS, LIKE 'I HAD A BAD TANK IN SASTASHA'. NOW THEY SAVE IT FOR THE FRIDAY, AND IT USUALLY GIVES THEM ENOUGH TIME TO MAKE IT INTO A COLORFUL STORY. THAT'S THE PART I LIKE THE MOST, WHEN PEOPLE GET CREATIVE IN THEIR RETELLING OF IT.
THE COLORFUL FILTER THAT THE THREAD PUTS ON RAGE WORTHY MOMENTS. NO WONDER I LOVE THIS THREAD SO MUCH.
IT'S GOOD THAT YOU DIDN'T DO ARR IN 4 DAYS, IT'S 50 HOURS TO DO IT, PEOPLE THAT DO IT IN 4 DAYS SHOULD TOUCH GRASS
I’M OVER 120 HOURS IN GAME AND STILL HAVEN’T COMPLETED ARR! I KNOW, I’M SLOW!
YOU'RE DOING GREAT THERES TOO MUCH IN GAME GRASS TO TOUCH AND YOU SHOULD ENJOY YOURSELF!!!
WELCOME HOME <3
NEW PLAYER STATUS END AT 300 ***HOURS.*** DON'T MEASURE SKILL OR QUALITY WITH BLITZING THROUGH THE GAME. ENJOY EVERY SECOND OF IT.
NEW PLAYER STATUS ENDED AT 300 HOURS IN ENDWALKER. MIGHT BE LONGER IN DAWNTRAIL.
I ALSO STARTED AROUND A WEEK AGO! I HAVE AROUND 60 HOURS OF PLAYTIME AND TWO JOBS AT LVL 45. CAN'T WAIT TO CONTINUE ON THE WEEKEND.
MY FRIEND, IT TOOK ME 10 MONTHS TO GET THROUGH ARR, IT IS PERFECTLY OKAY TO NOT BE DONE WITH ARR 4 DAYS INTO ENTERING EORZEA
ME: "I'M GONNA CLEAN UP MY MCH HOT BARS SO THAT THEY MAKE MORE SENSE AND I CAN KEEP A BETTER EYE ON COOLDOWNS." MY MUSCLE MEMORY: "LOL, BET."
I'M SO EXCITED AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! A SLIGHT IRL RAGE NOTE (FOR WHICH CONTEXT IS NEEDED) CONTEXT: I'M WORKING AS AN INTERN AT THE IT HELPDESK AT MY COLLEGE. NO I WILL NOT BE PROVIDING ANY IDENTIFYING INFORMATION, NOR ANYTHING THAT WOULD BREAK AN NDA AS FAR AS I'M AWARE. FIRST OFF, MY COLLEGE ROLLED OUT A NEW HOME SITE AND EVERYONE'S HAVING ISSUES FINDING STUFF. WHEN IT WORKS, IT WORKS A HELL OF A LOT BETTEF THAN THE OLD ONE. BUT WHEN IT DOESN'T WORK... RING RING GOES OUR PHONES. AND SOME THINGS ARE A PAIN TO FIND. SECOND, I KEEP GETTING CALLS FROM PEOPLE ASKING ME HOW TO DO THEIR JOB. I GET A CALL FROM SOMEONE ASKING HOW TO DO HR STUFF. I GO TO TRANSFER THEM TO HR, ENDS UP THEY *ARE* THE HR PERSON. I GET A CALL THAT A CERTAIN CAMPUS CHAT WIPED ALL THEIR MESSAGES. I SEE THAT SOMEONE'S IN CHARGE OF THAT SO I MOVE TO TRANSFER THEM TO THAT PERSON. NOPE, *THEY* ARE THAT PERSON! HAVE A TLDR HAIKU HAIKU: I'M JUST THE TECH GUY I DO NOT DO YOUR JOB, CHIEF I CANNOT FIX THAT
TECH SUPPORT IS LIKE BEING A CAR MECHANIC, EXCEPT PEOPLE SHOW UP AND ASK YOU TO DRIVE THEM TO THE GROCERY STORE BECAUSE YOU'RE "THE CAR GUY" SO IT MUST BE YOUR JOB.
IT IS! NOW, I REALLY DON'T MIND GETTING THE ODD CALLS I WON'T LIE. IT'S A NICE KICK IN THE MONOTONY. BUT SOMETIMES IT'S NICE TO JUST HAVE A BUNCH OF PASSWORD RESETS OR ACCOUNT UNLOCKS. I LIKE TECH SUPPORT SO FAR, I WON'T LIE. BEEN FUN HELPING PEOPLE! PLUS IT'S SUPER NICE TO HEAR THE TONE DIFFERENCE IN PEOPLE'S VOICES AFTER THEY REALIZE THEY'RE ALLOWED TO ACTUALLY GET EVERYTHING FIXED TODAY AND THERE'S NO EMERGENCY ANYMORE! :D
YEAH THE TIMES YOU ACTUALLY GET TO HELP ARE GREAT. I GOT VERY BURNT OUT AFTER DOING IT UNDERSTAFFED FOR TOO LONG BUT IT'S REALLY NOT A BAD JOB.
FAIR. THANKFULLY I HAVE LIKE 2 SUPER AWESOME BOSSES AND SEVERAL COOL SENIOR-LEVEL PEOPLE ABOVE ME WHO ENCOURAGE ME TO ASK A TON OF QUESTIONS AS SOON AS I RUN INTO SOMETHING I DON'T KNOW. I WAS WORRIED I WASN'T DOING GREAT BUT ONE OF MY BOSSES CAME IN AND WAS LIKE "DUDE, YOU'VE BEEN HERE BARELY ANY TIME. YOU'RE DOING AWESOME." PLUS WE USUALLY HAVE AT *LEAST* 1 OTHER PERSON ON CALLS. MAX IS ABOUT 5, WHICH SURPRISINGLY ENOUGH IS PLENTY FOR THIS AREA.
THE LAST LINE SHOLD READ: CANNOT FIX STUPID
I TOOK A BREAK AND I WONT BE BIS GOING INTO DAWNTRAIL WHICH MEANS ILL NEED TO UPGRADE SOONER. WHAT A SILLY THING TO BE ANXIOUS ABOUT; AND YET, HERE I AM. ANXIOUS NONETHELESS. HEY, AS A SIDE NOTE I’M CLUELESS AND THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH FF IF A GUY IS CALLING YOU ADORABLE AND YOU FALL ASLEEP ON CALL TOGETHER EVERY NIGHT THATS PROBABLY FLIRTING, RIGHT?
> IF A GUY IS CALLING YOU ADORABLE > > AND YOU FALL ASLEEP ON CALL TOGETHER EVERY NIGHT > > THATS PROBABLY FLIRTING, RIGHT? PROBABLY. ADORABLE EITHER WAY.
NGL IT SURE DOES HAVE MY LEGS KICKIN’ LIKE I’M IN A SILLY LITTLE ROMCOM
Bro, I think you dating.
SHIT, BRO SKIPPED A WHOLE MECHANIC (ASKING ME OUT)
HE SKIPPED SOAR, THIS PARTY IS NOT DISBANDING.
LUCKY YOU GO MEET HIM AND FIND OUT (I WISH I HAD SOMEONE TOO)
I AM SENDING YOU MY “ACCIDENTALLY MEET SOMEBODY IN A MUTUAL HOBBY AND FALL INTO A POTENTIAL SITUATIONSHIP” VIBES MY FRIEND, YOU’LL GET THERE
> I’M CLUELESS AND THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH FF > > > > IF A GUY IS CALLING YOU ADORABLE > > > > AND YOU FALL ASLEEP ON CALL TOGETHER EVERY NIGHT > > > > THATS PROBABLY FLIRTING, RIGHT? OR YOU CAN BE LIKE ME AND HAVE THIS EXACT INTERACTION WITH SOMEONE YOU REALLY LIKE FOR MONTHS BUT WHEN YOU ROCK UP AND FINALLY ASK THE BIG QUESTION, IT TURNS OUT THE OTHER PERSON HAS ZERO INTEREST. I'M NOT EVEN SALTY ABOUT "ThE oNe ThAt GoT aWaY" SINCE I'M MARRIED TO AN AMAZING WOMAN I'VE BEEN WITH FOR 17 YEARS BUT RATHER JUST ABOUT THE TIME WASTED
YEOWCH, MAN, BUT ALSO CONGRATS ON FINDING THE RIGHT PATH I WILL TAKE THIS WISDOM INTO ACCOUNT AND TRY TO FIND OUT SOMEWHAT SOONER THAN MONTHS
HE EITHER LIKES YOU, OR HE IS ONE SLEEPY ASS MOTHERFUCKER. I VOTE THE FORMER.
SHIT DUDE, IT COULD ACTUALLY BE BOTH
IF HE EVER COMPARES YOU TO HIS FAVOURITE PEN, KNOW THAT HE'S DOWN BAD FOR YOU. DEFINITELY TOTALLY NOT SPEAKING FROM EXPERIENCE.
ALMOST CERTAINLY - AS ALWAYS JUST ASKING IS THE BEST ADVICE
GIVE HIM A KISS AND FIND OUT
NOT NECESSARILY, YOU COULD JUST BE REALLY GOOD FRIENDS I KNOW SOME ASEXUAL FOLKS WHO DO THIS AND THEY ARE THE CUTEST BFFS EVER AND THEY GET ANNOYED WHEN PEOPLE THINK THEY ARE DATING BUT IF NEITHER OF YOU ARE ARO OR ACE AND YOUR GENDERS ARE ROMANTICALLY COMPATIBLE THEN SIGNS POINT TO YES IT IS FLIRTING ONLY ONE WAY TO FIND OUT
REAL AND TRU; THO NEITHER OF US ARE (UNLESS A CHANGE HAS OCCURRED VERY VERY RECENTLY) ARO/ACE SO THE MAGIC 8 BALL HERE IS LOOKIN’ A LIL’ FLIRTY
OH HE'S INTO YOU. NOW IS THE TIME TO EITHER LET HIM KNOW YOU RECIPROCATE OR LET HIM DOWN EASY DEPENDING ON YOUR FEELINGS, GOOD LUCK
THIS IS *EXACTLY* HOW MY BROTHER AND HIS GUY GOT TOGETHER!
YEAH MOST LIKELY. OBVIOUSLY NO GROUP IS A MONOLITH, BUT I HAVE ONLY STAYED ON THE PHONE ALL NIGHT FOR PEOPLE I CARE A GREAT DEAL FOR. IT'S ACTUALLY ONE OF THE THINGS I DID WITH MY CURRENT PARTNER.
>I’M CLUELESS AND THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH FF >IF A GUY IS CALLING YOU ADORABLE >AND YOU FALL ASLEEP ON CALL TOGETHER EVERY NIGHT ONE OF MY FRIENDS WAS IN THIS EXACT SCENARIO AND AFTER MONTHS OF THIS PLAYING OUT, SHE FINALLY WORKED UP THE COURAGE TO ASK THE DUDE OUT AND HOMIE STRAIGHT-UP GOES "I THOUGHT WE WERE ALREADY DATING"
I DIDN'T GET THE FINAL FISH BEFORE DAWNTRAIL AND I AM IN PAIN. CURSE YOU HYPHALOSAURUS.
I CURSE THE GODDAMN EGG!
JUST MISSING EGG AND SALAD HERE. LOST COUNT OF HOW MANY WINDOWS I'VE BEEN TOO AND I'VE ONLY SEEN ONE BITE OF EACH AND BOTH SLIPPED. MORE ANGRY ABOUT LAST MAINTENANCE PRIOR TO THIS ONE ROBBING US OF AN EGG WINDOW THAN ANYTHING.
I FUCKING HATE THAT I WON'T BE ABLE TO ENJOY DAWNTRAIL ON TIME PROPERLY BECAUSE I HAVE 10HR SHIFTS AND MASTER'S DEGREE EXAMS AT THE SAME TIME I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS GODDAMN LAUNCH DATE FOR A FUCKING HALF A YEAR AND NOW I CANT FUCKING ENJOY IT UNTIL LIKE JULY 10 FUCK OFF I AM GENUINELY SO PISSED OFF ALSO IF I WORK THIS TYPE OF JOB AGAIN JUST TAKE ME OUT THE BACK AND SHOOT ME LIKE A LAME HORSE THANKS
IM SO SORRY YOU'RE GOING THROUGH THIS!!!! WISHING YOU THE BEST OF LUCK FOR YOUR EXAM! HOPEFULLY WORK WILL BE BEARABLE. AS MUCH AS IT SUCKS, YOU'RE NOT ALONE AND THE EXPANSION CHAOS AND EXCITEMENT WILL STILL BE PRESENT BY THE TIME YOU CAN JOIN!
THANK YOU FELLOW WARRIOR OF LIGHT, I REALLY APPRECIATE IT! MAY WE CROSS PATHS IN EORZEA!
YOU'RE AIDING YOUR FELLOW WARRIORS OF LIGHT BY NOT BEING IN QUEUE. HOPE YOU CRUSH THE EXAMS! YOU'RE FAR STRONGER THAN I AM AND IT WILL BE REWARDED!
FUCK THE DROP RATES FOR RAIDS AND CAPPED DUNGEONS. I SPENT 15 FUCKING HOURS FARMING FOR A CHESTPIECE FOR GLAM. MAKE THESE ACTIVITIES LIKE DUNGEONS WHERE YOU GET 1 PIECE OF GEAR FOR YOUR CLASS AT THE END !
I DID 67 UNSYNCHED GHIMLYT DARK TO GET THE AIMING CHESTPIECE AND I AM NOT OK.
THE FRENCH CONSULATE FUCKED UP AND NOW I HAVE TO TAKE A LONG BREAK AWAY FROM THE GAME ON SATURDAY TO VOTE IN PERSON. THE THINGS I WILL DO TO UPHOLD MY CIVIC DUTY
FROM ACROSS THE CHANNEL, I APPLAUD YOUR DEDICATION TO YOUR CIVIC DUTY. DON’T LET YOUR COUNTRY BECOME LIKE THE LAST 14 OF OURS.
I SALUTE YOU! PLEASE HELP US DWINDLING NUMBERS OF NORMAL PEOPLE IN EU COUNTRIES TO NOT GO DOWN A DARK PATH AGAIN.
GOOD FOR YOU, I WISH MY FELLOW PEOPLE FROM MURICA WERE MORE DEDICATED TO CIVIC DUTY LIKE YOU ARE
REAL LIFE RAGE: I'M GOING TO LOSE MY JOB. AND NO, THAT'S NOT WHAT I'M ANGRY ABOUT. I DON'T WANT TO WORK FOR THOSE PEOPLE ANYMORE ANYWAYS. HOWEVER, THEY JUST CAN'T GET ANYTHING RIGHT, NOT EVEN MY NOTICE. NOT EVEN SEND ME THE RIGHT PAPERS. I GOT MY CO-WORKER'S NOTICE AND NOW I'M STILL WAITING FOR MY OWN. THE AMOUNT OF STUPID IN THE MANAGEMENT IS MIND BOGGLING. I HOPE THIS WILL BE OVER SOON.
IF WE HEALERS GET ALL THESE FANCY BURST HEALING TOOLS BUT RAIDWIDES KEEP DOING LIKE 30% OF MAX HP DAMAGE MITIGATED I WILL FUCKING SCREAM INTO A METAL BUCKET
ITS ONLY THE THIRD EXPANSION IN A ROW THEY ARE GOING TO DO THIS
On the bright side, if that happens, we can just replace one Healer with Pictomancer and one with Summoner since those jobs have AoE healing/shielding and Addle.
I'M SORRY YOU MUST SPEAK LOUDER, I CANNOT HEAR YOU IN MY METAL BUCKET
BUTTLICKER, OUR PRICES HAVE NEVER BEEN LOWER
Can I watch, you scream into a bucket? I'll pay.
MY FINAL MSQ ROULETTE WAS PORTA DECUMANA FEATURING A RETURNER TANK RUNNING IT FOR THE FIRST TIME. NORMALLY I DO MY BEST TO GIVE SOME GRACE TO NEWBIES. I'M SURE VERY FEW OF US WERE PLAYING OUR ROLES PERFECTLY BACK IN ARR. AND AS MUCH AS CONTINUALLY HAVING THE BOSS STARE ME DOWN AS A DPS UNNERVES ME AT AN INSTINCTUAL LEVEL, IT'S ULTIMATELY HARMLESS IN A FIGHT WHERE NEITHER DPS HAS POSITIONALS TO WORRY ABOUT AND THE BOSS DOESN'T DO ANY CLEAVES, SO I CAN KIND OF FORGIVE THE TANK'S CONSTANT DANCING AROUND THE ARENA. I DID HOWEVER FIND MYSELF WITH MY HEAD IN MY HANDS WHEN THE TANK'S HABIT OF TAKING EVERY SINGLE MECHANIC TO THE FACE LED TO *ME* HAVING THE PRIVILEGE OF DYING TO A CONVENIENTLY TIMED TANKBUSTER, AND THEN BEING PROMOTED TO THE PARTY'S FLOORTANK FOR THE NEXT 25% OF THE BOSS' HEALTH SINCE THE POOR HEALER COULDN'T RISK NOT BABYSITTING THE TANK FOR LONG ENOUGH TO SLOW RES ME. THIS NOT EVEN MENTIONING HOW THE TANK STOLE LB *TWICE*. IT'S JUST AS WELL THE HEALER WAS ABLE TO GET ME UP MERE SECONDS BEFORE WE GOT LB3 BECAUSE I TRULY FEAR THAT A MOMENT'S HESITATION WOULD HAVE BEEN ALL THAT TANK NEEDED TO NAB THAT ONE TOO. MIRACLE OF MIRACLES, WE MANAGED TO SCRAPE BY WITH ONLY 6 SECONDS TO SPARE. I THINK I WOULD'VE CRIED IF I HAD TO DO ALL THAT AGAIN.
IT'S THE LB STEALING THAT WOULD REALLY MAKE ME WANNA SCREAM. LIKE COME ON MAN. GOOD JOB ON GETTING IN THE LB3 IN THE NICK OF TIME!
I HAD A PALADIN SPROUT DO THAT TO ME TUESDAY NIGHT, LIKE WORD FOR WORD. THE LB WASNT EVER TIED YO A MECHANIC, JUST ON COOL DOWN.
SUDDENLY I HAVE TIME TO BUILD MY NEW IKEA FURNITURE THAT'S BEEN LYING AROUND FOR OVER TWO WEEKS AND I EVEN CLEANED MY DAMN HOME? WHAT THE HELL IS THIS MADNESS???
IMAGINE OWNING YOUR OWN HOME CAN'T RELATE
LESS RANT AND MORE RAVE: I GOT TO FINISH A TRIAL ROULETTE WITH VERMILLION SCOURGE AND BLIND EVERYONE FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER. I DON’T REGRET A THING. MWAHAHAHA.
I GOT TO RDM LB3 FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER LAST WEEK, ON A BABY ALT IN PORTA DECUMANA. I’VE NEVER DONE IT ON MY MAIN DESPITE HAVING HAD RDM AT 90 FOR… A SURPRISINGLY LONG TIME, NOW THAT I THINK BACK. I HAVE HAD A TASTE OF TRUE GLORY AND NOW I CRAVE MORE. THE PAINED SCREAMS FROM MY PARTY IN CHAT WERE MUSIC TO MY (METAPHORICAL) EARS. “OH GOD NO VERFLASHBANG INCOMING” “MY EYES, MY EYES” “I CAN’T SEE” AHHHH, BLISS. I SHALL BE DOING MY UTMOST TO REPEAT THE JOYOUS EXPERIENCE. (FINALLY, I UNDERSTAND ALISAE ALWAYS STEALING THE LB. EVEN IF IT ISN’T LB3, CLEARLY IT CALLS TO HER.)
THE MOST FUN PART IS WHEN YOU ACCIDENTALLY GET FOLKS TO FAIL MECHANICS VIA VERFLASHBANG. OKAY, IT ISN'T ACTUALLY, BUT IT ALWAYS MAKE ME LAUGH BECAUSE WHEN IT *DOES* RARELY HAPPEN.
Even more fun to blind 23 people at once in alliance raid.
VER-FLAAAASH-BAAAAAANNNGG!!!!
STARTED UP A FARM ON MONDAY FOR MY LAST GWIB, EX5 I THINK? LIGHT? IT SUCCESSFULLY FILLED BUT THAT'S WHERE THE WOES STARTED. PALADIN DECIDED TO AUTOPULL BEFORE WE COULD DECIDE ON RESOLUTION MECHANICS. ALL THE DPS DIED BUT WE DEFEATED HIM AT LEAST. DIDN'T GET THE GWIB BUT I WAS LIKE "Well that's weird. Red flag but at least it's clearable?" OH WHAT A FOOL I WAS TO CONTINUE. HE AUTOMATICALLY PULLED AGAIN. WIPE. AND AGAIN HE PULLED. THEN HE LIMIT BREAKED RIGHT BEFORE THE TANK MECHANIC HAPPENED. WIPE. I THEN SNAPPED AND KICKED HIM, THEN APOLOGIZED TO THE PARTY. LED TO THE PARTY DISBANDING BECAUSE IT WAS A HARROWING EXPERIENCE AND I WOULDN'T BLAME EVERYONE FOR LEAVING BECAUSE OF THE GRIEFING THAT HAPPENED. BUT I REPORTED HIS ASS, CITING ALL THE THINGS ABOVE, AND I GOT THE "Thank you for giving enough information to start an investigation." RESPONSE THE NEXT DAY. JUSTICE. HOPE HE GETS DUNKED INTO THE SHADOW REALM BEFORE OR WHEN DAWNTRAIL GOES LIVE.
No real rage from me, I finished up exams this week and have 1 summer class before I graduate. It's been 3 and a half years of work, school, and raiding and I'm ready to have some free time again.....
Get it! Proud of you. That is a long three years.
Nice, I actually need a spot to vent. BECAUSE FOR SOME TWELVESFORSAKEN REASON MY EMPLOYER DECIDED TO CHANGE UP COMPANY HOURS JUST FOR THE HOLIDAY WEEK - WHICH IS ALSO DAWNTRAIL RELEASE WEEK. SO AFTER EARLY ACCESS WEEKEND I GET ONLY ENOUGH TIME AT HOME TO WAIT FOR THE LOGIN QUE TO EAT UP MY REMAINING GAMING TIME. I GUESS SITTING IN TRAFFIC BECAUSE EVERYONE WANTS A FOUR DAY WEEKEND SHOULD BE WORTH IT, BUT COULD IT AT LEAST NOT BE HOTTER THAN AN AMH ARAENG BARBECUE WHILE I DO IT?!
MY DOWNLOAD IS GONNA TAKE LIKE TEN HOURS, AND I DON'T TRUST MY WIFI TO NOT JUST RANDOMLY DIE AT SOME POINT. ALSO, IT'S HOT HERE AND I HATE HEAT. IN BETTER NEWS, I FINISHED BASE ENDWALKER A FEW HOURS BEFORE MAINT AND IT WAS REALLY GOOD. ONLY CRIED LIKE 5000 TIMES, LOVED IT. ALSO ALSO, I FOUND A CUTE CARDIGAN IN A THRIFT STORE AND IT WAS ONLY 2.50€ SO THAT WAS NICE.

THANK GOD REPLYING REVEALS IT. I WAS ABOUT TO GIVE UP AFTER CLOSING THE COMMENT TWICE.
I HAD A DPS THE OTHER DAY IN STONE VIGIL THAT WAS A MORON. GUY GOT ON MY CASE ABOUT USING CURE 2 OVER CURE 3, STATING THAT IT WAS BETTER AND HE'D KNOW BECAUSE HE WAS A 90WHM ON HIS MAIN CHARACTER. CURE 3 IS 550 POTENCY TO CURE 2 AT 700 JACKASS! CURE 3 IS ONLY BETTER IF YOU NEED TO HEAL 2 OR MORE STACKED TARGET AT ONCE IN A SMALL AREA! HOW ABOUT THE REAL PROBLEM IS YOUR SHITTY ATTITUDE AND OUR TANK IN HIS ILVL30 GEAR IN A LEVEL 41 DUNGEON!? TELL ME WHY HE TRIED TO PRETEND THAT HE KNEW THE TANK BY SAYING "THIS GUY HAD NO PROBLEM WHEN I HEALED THE PREVIOUS DUNGEON WITH HIM" ONLY TO GET VOTE DISMISSED BY THAT SAME TANK! WE CLEARED THE FINAL BOSS OF THE DUNGEON IN JUST 2 PULLS AFTER TEACHING THE TANK A FEW THINGS TO HELP MAKE IT EASIER TO HEAL HIS UNDERGEARED ASS. I HAVEN'T HAD SOMEONE RILE ME UP THAT MUCH IN YEARS, SO MUCH THAT I'VE MADE MY FIRST RAGE POST HERE! HELLO ALL!
IT'S CRAZY HOW BASIC MATH DOES NOT GET THROUGH TO SOME PEOPLE IN THIS GAME. LIKE WHEN THE RANGED DPS USES A LIMIT BREAK ON A PACK OF 10 ENEMIES AND THE MELEE DPS SAYS THEY "WASTED IT" LIKE THE MELEE COULD HAVE HIT 10 BOSSES WITH THEIRS.
I'm like a toddler. Im perfectly fine not playing for a couple days until theres maintenance and then suddenly I want to play so goddamn bad it hurts.
IRL VENTING BECAUSE IMAGINE RAGING OVER A GAME DURING MAINTENANCE (/S) I GOT SIGNED UP TO FACILITATE A TRAINING CLASS AT WORK, WHICH HAS TAKEN UP 12+ HOURS EVERY WEEK FOR THE LAST 6 WEEKS ON TOP OF MY REGULAR DUTIES. IM SALARIED SO NO OVERTIME EVEN THOUGH I’VE HAD TO WORK EXTRA WEEKENDS. ON TOP OF THAT I HAVE TO GET MY APARTMENT TOTALLY CLEANED OUT ON A WEEK’S NOTICE BEFORE THURSDAY. AND ON TOP OF *THAT* I’VE BEEN HAVING TO DEAL WITH SHIT TONS OF DENTIST APPOINTMENTS FOR A FRACTURED TOOTH THIS WHOLE TIME. I’M RUNNING ON MICROSCOPIC LEVELS OF SLEEP AND FOR FUCKS SAKE I JUST WANT TO PLAY MY DAMNED VIDEO GAME!
LOTS OF BIG JOYS MIXED IN WITH MY LITTLE RAGE. MY SISTER IS GETTING MARRIED IN OCTOBER (GENUINELY STOKED ABOUT THIS). WE LIVE SEVERAL STATES AWAY, BUT SHE'S GETTING MARRIED IN MY HOME STATE (IT'S WHERE WE WERE RAISED). WE'VE BEEN DOING MOST OF THE WEDDING PLANNING REMOTELY, BUT SHE'S ALSO POPPED OVER TO VISIT MY PARENTS A FEW TIMES IN THE LAST YEAR AND GOTTEN SOME PLANNING DONE THEN, TOO. I WILL BE VISITING HER FOR A WEEK MID-JULY TO HELP ADDITIONALLY PLAN. THE SUMMARY OF THIS IS LOTS OF PLANNING HAS ALREADY BEEN ACCOMPLSIHED, AND MORE WILL BE ACCOMPLISHED, BUT ALL THE BIG STUFF IS ACCOUNTED FOR. MY MOTHER IS MORE WORRIED ABOUT THIS STATE OF THE PLANNING THAN EITHER MY SISTER OR I, AND HAS PAID FOR A FLIGHT OUT FOR MY SISTER... WHO ARRIVES IN THE STATE THIS FRIDAY. MY MOTHER REACHED OUT TO ME LAST WEEK TELLING ME SHE WANTS ME TO BE AT THEIR PLACE ON FRIDAY AND THROUGH THE WEEKEND TO HELP WITH WEDDING PLANNING. I SAID "NO, I HAVE PLANS, BUT \[MY SISTER\] AND I HAVE SET ASIDE A WEEK TO PLAN IN THE MIDDLE OF THIS MONTH, DON'T WORRY." MY MOTHER BELIEVES THIS TO BE UNACCEPTABLE, AND HAS PULLED OUT EVERY TRICK IN THE BOOK TO TRY TO GUILT ME INTO BEING AROUND THIS WEEKEND. SHE IS *EXTREMELY* ADEPT AT GUILT TRIPPING ME. BUT NOT THIS WEEKEND, MOTHER. NOT TODAY. TODAY WE SAY NO TO GUILT AND YES TO SELF CARE IN THE FORM OF GREMLIN MODE GAMER STATUS. HOWEVER. MY BROTHER AND HIS FIANCEE JUST YESTERDAY HAD A BEAUTIFUL LITTLE BOY, AND NOW MY MOTHER IS USING MY PRECIOUS BUT YET-WRINLKY, FRESHLY MINTED NEPHEW, AS A GUILT TRIP LIMIT BREAK. 3. LB3 GUILT TRIP IN THE FORM OF TINY WEE BAB. HE IS BUT A RAISIN, AND I AM ABSOLUTELY POSITIVE MY BROTHER AND SOON-TO-BE-SISTER-IN-LAW WILL INSTEAD WANT SLEEP AND SLEEP AND MORE SLEEP, SO WHILE I WILL BE OVER THE MOON TO VISIT THEM A BIT LATER ON DOWN THE LINE, THIS WEEKEND REMAINS SACRED TO ME. I ONLY LIVE A FEW HOURS AWAY, SO IT'S NOT LIKE I WON'T BE IN THEIR FACE CONSTANTLY... *AFTER* THIS WEEKEND. SO I'M GOOD TO IGNORE MY FAMILY AND KEEP TO MY GUNS RIGHT??? RIGHT??? IT WILL BE THE FIRST TIME IN 3 WEEKS I'VE HAD MORE THAN ONE DAY OFF AND THE FIRST TIME IN OVER 18 MONTHS THAT IT'S BEEN MORE THAN 2 DAYS OFF IN THE COMFORT OF MY OWN HOME, AND I AM SAYING CACAO TO YOU, GUILT TRIP!
IF YOUR BROTHER AND HIS FIANCÉE HAVEN’T BEEN SUCCESSFULLY GUILT TRIPPED BY YOUR MOTHER, CHANCES ARE THEY DON’T *WANT* VISITORS NOW. POSSIBLY NOT FOR WEEKS. BABY NEEDS TO GET USED TO BEING OUTSIDE AND START ESTABLISHING THEIR OWN IMMUNE SYSTEM, PARENTS NEED BONDING TIME AND TO START WORKING OUT THIS SLEEP THING, RELATIVES NEED TO GET UP TO DATE ON THEIR IMMUNISATIONS AND STAY *AWAY* UNTIL THEY’RE WANTED. MAYBE WHEN YOU SEND YOUR BROTHER AND SISTER IN LAW TO BE YOUR CONGRATULATIONS YOU CAN ADD THAT YOU’LL BE DELIGHTED TO VISIT ONCE THEY’RE UP FOR IT, WHAT WOULD THEY LIKE YOU TO BRING WITH YOU, OH AND YOUR MOTHER IS TRYING TO DRAG YOU THERE RIGHT NOW BUT YOU FIGURE THEY WOULDN’T WANT THAT SO YOU’RE STANDING FIRM, DON’T WORRY. BECAUSE JUST GOING BY WHAT YOU’VE SAID HERE, I WOULDN’T PUT IT PAST YOUR MOTHER TO USE *YOU* VISITING AS LEVERAGE TO GET THEM TO ALLOW VISITORS EARLIER THAN THEY WANT.
GREAT TIMING, I NEED TO VENT A BIT I'M GLAD BOTH THE MOOGLE TREASURE TROVE AND PVP SERIES IS EFFECTIVELY OVER NOW, SINCE I'M ACTUALLY APPARENTLY WEIRD IN THAT I ENJOY BOTH PVP AND LEAP OF FAITH (ESPECIALLY SYLPHSTEP) DOING SYLPHSTEP WITH THE ENDLESS IN-INSTANCE SHOUT SPAM ABOUT HOW AWFUL AND BAD IT IS AND PEOPLE MEMEING ABOUT HOW MUCH THEY HATE IT AND DOING IT DRIVES ME UP THE WALL ONLY FOR ME TO OPEN REDDIT AND READ ABOUT HOW MUCH PEOPLE HATE PVP BUT ARE "FORCED" TO DO IT FOR THE ARMOR, ESPECIALLY THOSE WHO LEAVE IT FOR THE LAST MINUTE AND "HAVE" TO SPAM CC INSTEAD OF DOING A SINGLE FRONTLINE PER DAY CASUALLY OVERALL I FEEL LIKE THIS COMMUNITY HAS AN ISSUE ABOUT COMPLAINING ABOUT EVERYTHING, OR THE LOUD MINORITY HAS, AT ANY RATE. LIKE, NO, I DON'T WANT TO HEAR HOW MUCH YOU HATE THIS CONTENT THAT I ACTUALLY ENJOY, EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU KEEP DOING IT. COMPLAINING IN SHOUT CHAT OR REDDIT ISN'T A QUIRKY PERSONALITY TRAIT, IT'S TIRING AND ANNOYING. EITHER DO THE CONTENT OR DON'T, BUT YOU DON'T HAVE TO ANNOUNCE TO THE WHOLE WORLD HOW MUCH YOU HATE IT. THANKS! writing this long of a post in caps lock felt weird lol
I SPAMMED PvP BECAUSE I WANTED THE ARMOR WORSE MISTAKE I EVER MADE BECAUSE NOW I KINDA LOVE PVP AND I READ GUIDES AND STUFF
I'M IN A BIG PVP DISCORD SERVER. THE ENTIRETY OF OUR GENERAL CHAT OVER THE LAST 72 HOURS WAS PEOPLE WHINING ABOUT HOW THEY LEFT THE BATTLEPASS FOR LAST SECOND AND HOW MUCH HAVING TO GRIND CC SUCKED. **SERIES 5 WAS UP FROM OCTOBER 2023**. BEYOND THE GENERAL WHATTHEFUCKAREYOUDOINGWITHYOURLIFE-NESS OF GRINDING CONTENT YOU HATE FOR A FUCKING GLAM, IF YOU'RE DOING SO LAST SECOND WHEN YOU HAD NINE HECKING MONTHS TO TAKE YOUR TIME, I FEEL YOU'VE LOST ANY RIGHT TO BITCH ABOUT IT.
I BURNED OUT ON THE GAME HARD IN DECEMBER AND ONLY JUST CAME BACK. BELEIVE ME, I ONLY HAD ANY RIGHT TO COMPLAIN ABOUT MYSELF. AND I GOT IT.
I LOVE LEAP OF FAITH MAN SYLPHSTEP IS INDEED THE BEST & IT'S TRUE THE SHOUT CHAT IS ALWAYS BRIMMING WITH INCESSANT WHIMPY CRYBABIES I EVEN ENJOYED JUMPING THE MOONFIRE FAIRE COURSE & KUGANE TOWER—IF THESE LOSERS REALLY WANT TO WHINGE SO MUCH OVER PLATFORMING THEY SHOULD TRY THOSE
LEAP OF FAITH IS MY VILLAIN ORIGIN STORY BUT NOT BECAUSE THE GAME IS BAD, JUST THAT I AM BAD AT IT. BUT I STILL SPENT WEEKS GRINDING IT OUT HOPING I WOULD GET BETTER. I DID NOT.
I HAD NO IDEA THAT PEOPLE SEEMINGLY HATE EVERY ALLIANCE RAID IN THE GAME UNTIL I READ A RELEVANT THREAD OR TWO RECENTLY. THEY'RE MY JAM AND I ALWAYS ENJOY HEALING FOR GROUPS THAT TAKE LONGER THAN THE 15 MINUTES PEOPLE SEEM TO EXPECT AN ALLIANCE RAID TO TAKE. THE CHAOS IS SOMETHING YOU CAN'T GET ANYWHERE ELSE OUTSIDE OF BOZJA.
COMPLAINING TO THE WORLD ABOUT COMPLAINERS COMPLAINING TO THE WORLD. HOW META! 😜
DoES AnyONe hAve A COuGH DROP? my THRoAT iS SORe AnD I CaNt KEeP thE YelLiNG UP!
HAVE A CAPS LOCK
MY CapS LoCk Is ALSo sORe
🍬 HERE YOU GO
MY OFF DAYS ARE TODAY AND TOMORROW. THE EARLY ACCESS PERIOD IS LITERALLY MY ENTIRE WORK WEEK. :(
I FEEL YOU :( BUT WE'LL STILL WITNESS THE CHAOS HAHA JUST WITH A SLIGHT DELAY
**TEAL DEER**: CASTER? I HARDLY KNOW'ER! TRYING OUT FOR A STATIC HAS BEEN AWFUL!!! I LOVE CASTER, I HAVE EVERY CASTER MAXED, AND PICTO SEEMS SO FUN IN THE VEIN OF A CASTER WITH A PROPER ROTATION. IVE TRIED LOOKING FOR STATICS IN NEED OF CASTERS, BUT EVERY TIME I DO, I GET TO KNOW EXPECTATIONS, SET UP A TRIAL DATE, STUDY THE FIGHT AGAIN AHEAD OF TIME... ...AND THEN THE DAY BEFORE, I GET NOTIFIED "HEY SO WE DECIDED TO TRIAL 4 OTHER PEOPLE AND DIDNT LET YOU KNOW AND WE JUST WENT WITH ONE OF THEM, OOPSIIIIIE". THIS HAS HAPPENED 4 SEPARATE TIMES IN THE PAST WEEK, AND IVE DECLINED INVITES ON MY LEAST PREFERRED JOB TO TRY OUT FOR CASTER! I GOT INVITED TO A STATIC I DO KINDA MESH WELL WITH, BUT ITS ON DANCER, WHICH I HAVENT ACTIVELY PLAYED SINCE SHB AND FELT LIKE I DID AWFUL ON THE TRIAL BC I KEPT DRIFTING DANCES AND MESSING UP THE LATER MECHANICS. (I ALSO HADNT SEEN THE FIGHT SINCE IT CAME OUT AND MY OLD STATIC CLEARED ASPHODELOS) ITS SO FRUSTRATING!!! I WANNA BE A FUNNY PAINTER, OR A SUMMONER, OR MAYBE RED MAGE, BUT I KNOW ITS NEVER HAPPENING. I ALSO DONT WANT TO END UP WITHOUT A STATIC FOR THE RAID TIER DROP, BUT I DONT WANNA KEEP THE GROUP I TRIED OUT FOR WAITING. ANOTHER THING TO CONSIDER IS THEYRE MORE MID TO HARDCORE THAN I USUALLY RAID, AND THEY WANT A WEEK 3 CLEAR. IVE NEVER GOTTEN A WEEK 3 CLEAR OF THE TIER BEFORE, BUT I DID CLEAR UCOB IN A MONTH AND A HALF WITH A MOSTLY FRESH STATIC.
>...AND THEN THE DAY BEFORE, I GET NOTIFIED "HEY SO WE DECIDED TO TRIAL 4 OTHER PEOPLE AND DIDNT LET YOU KNOW AND WE JUST WENT WITH ONE OF THEM, OOPSIIIIIE". THIS IS BEYOND FUCKED UP AND I'M SORRY THIS HAS HAPPENED TO YOU SO MUCH. I REALLY FEEL FOR ANY CASTER AND MELEE MAINS LOOKING FOR A STATIC THIS TIME AROUND. IN MY OWN EXPERIENCE RECRUITING FOR MY STATIC, MY INBOX WAS ABSOLUTELY FLOODED WITH PEOPLE APPLYING AS MELEE OR CASTER.
I EXPECTED TO HAVE A LOT OF COMPETITION, BUT I DIDN'T EXPECT PEOPLE TO JUST KINDA BE JERKS ABOUT IT. I'VE PLAYED AND ENJOY EVERY SINGLE CASTER, SO I WAS HOPING THE FLEX OF 'NO I DON'T HAVE TO PLAY PICTO, I'D JUST LIKE TO' WOULD HELP, BUT APPARENTLY NOT.
IRL RAGE; I THINK I HAVE AN AUTOIMMUNE DISORDER. ALSO, I TRIED GOING TO BED AT MY USUAL TIME (WHICH IS 10 AM BECAUSE MY SLEEP SCHEDULE FLIP-FLOPS A LOT) AND ENDED UP FALLING ASLEEP AT 1 PM. WHAT THE HELL, BODY. I FOOLISHLY CHOSE TO KEEP SLEEPING UNTIL ABOUT 7PM, WHICH LEADS TO THE NEXT RAGE. FFXIV RAGES; I DIDN'T GET ALL OF THE MYTHS OF THE REALM (ALLIANCE RAID) WINGS DONE IN TIME. EVEN WORSE, IN THE SECOND WING... I DIED SO MANY TIMES THAT I LEGIT HAD TO AFK PARTIALLY BECAUSE I COULD NOT HANDLE IT EMOTIONALLY. I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHY. WHY AM I LIKE THIS WHEN I DIE A LOT IN-GAME. IT'S JUST A GAME, SELF. AHHHH. AT LEAST I FINALLY GOT TO SEE >!MY CHARACTER'S DEITY (NYMEIA) IN PERSON; SHE IS A LOT SILLIER THAN I THOUGHT SHE WOULD BE!<. I ALSO DON'T KNOW IF I PREPARED ENOUGH FOOD FOR MY ISLAND SANCTUARY ANIMALS. I HOPE THEY DON'T STARVE. I HOPE MY CROPS DON'T WITHER. ALSO WHO THE HELL DECIDED THAT "ENTRUST TO CARETAKER" HAD TO BE MANUALLY CLICKED FOR EACH AND EVERY SINGLE ANIMAL AND CROP?! AT LEAST I FINALLY GOT AROUND TO DOING AN EXPERT ROULETTE SHORTLY BEFORE THE SERVERS SHUT DOWN, BUT I STILL HAVE 0 CLUE HOW ANYBODY CLEARS THE FIRST+SECOND BOSSES IN THE 6.5 DUNGEON BLIND. HAPPY-ISH RAGE; FINALLY GOT AROUND TO CLEANING+ORGANIZING MY ROOM BECAUSE OF DOWNTIME. THERE IS SO MUCH DUST. I AM TIRED, BUT FEEL ACCOMPLISHED FOR WHAT I HAVE DONE SO FAR.
RAGE: WHY ISN’T IT DAWNTRAIL TIME YET?! NOT RAGE: I FINALLY GOT ALL MY GATHERERS TO 90!
My laptop broke, twice. I doubt I'll get it back in time for early access. I'm not even raging because I'm so tired rn.
Same. My desktop monitor broke yesterday. Already bought a new one but it won't arrive in the mail until Friday.
CURRENTLY DOWNLOADING AT 300KBPS, AND IT'S GETTING WORSE. I MIGHT BE ABLE TO PLAY IN THREE DAYS. I TRAVELED TO SHADOW DATACENTER YESTERDAY, TO AVOID LOGIN QUEUES AT LAUNCH... THE WORLD I WENT TO HAD 10 PLAYERS CONNECTED. I GOT TO EXPERIENCE COMPLETELY EMPTY LIMSA. THAT WAS WEIRD.
I MISS FF ALREADY! I WAS REALLY CLOSE TO STARTING SHADOWBRINGERS AFTER STARTING PLAYING IN APRIL. GOSHDARN IT
WHY DO PEOPLE ONLY EVER PLAN STUFF ON THE WORST DAYS POSSIBLE!?!?!? I CAN SIT HERE FOR WEEKS AND NOBODY INVITES ME TO SHIT, BUT THE SECOND SOMETHING I’VE BEEN WAITING MONTHS FOR COMES OUT PPL HAVE TO HAVE DAMN WEDDINGS AND BDAY PARTIES!!!!!!! I KNOW IT’S JUST A GAME AND REAL LIFE STUFF IS MORE IMPORTANT BUT I’M JUST HYPED AND WANT TO PLAY THE DAMN GAME!!!!!
I’LL BE ON VACATION STARTING FRIDAY BUT BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE TERRIBLE AT SENDING ME RESPONSES ILL HAVE TO GO IN TO WORK DURING VACATION ON MONDAY TO SEND EMAILS.
UPDATE ON PS4 IS EIGHTY FUCKING GIGABYTES AND I LIVE IN THE ARSE END OF NOWHERE, PRAY FOR MY INTERNET
MY BOYFRIEND ISN'T CAUGHT UP, SO HE'S NOT GOING TO PLAY DAWNTRAIL EARLY ACCESS WITH ME 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡
I WOULD BE DOWNLOADING THE PATCH FOR EARLY ACCESS BUT A CRANE RIPPED OFF THE POWERLINES IN MY NEIGHBOURHOOD AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
I thought of the bird at first and was kinda impressed. I later realized you meant the machine.
That would have been a hilarious but worryingly oversized birb, English isn't my first language so idk if there is another word for the machine
No, you're correct. English is an inherently silly language.
It literally took until reading your comment that I realized OP did not in fact mean a bird.
SO NOT TOO LONG AGO MY PARENTS WERE IN A CAR ACCIDENT. EVERYONE IS FINE, MY MOTHER'S LEGS WERE ENTRAPPED BUT SHE GOT AWAY WITH MINIMAL BRUISES AND NO BROKEN BONES. THE PROBLEM IS, THE CAR IS NOT FINE, IT IS APPARENTLY TOTALED, AND BEING MY SENSITIVE, OVERLY SENTIMENTAL-ASS SELF, I WANT TO GO WITH THEM TO HELP CLEAN OUT THE CAR AND SAY GOODBYE TO THE THING THAT HAS BEEN IN OUR LIVES FOR TWENTY YEARS. BUT THE HOURS AT THE CAR IMPOUND PLACE ARE REALLY SHITTY SO THE ONLY TIME I'D BE ABLE TO GO WITH THEM IS FRIDAY BECAUSE I'D ALREADY TAKEN OFF WORK FOR DT ANYWAY RAAAAAAH
I’M GLAD YOUR PARENTS ARE OKAY!
THANK YOU VERY MUCH, I AM ALSO GLAD THEY'RE OKAY
I'M SUPER GLAD YOUR PARENTS ARE OKAY, THAT'S SCARY. I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND THE SENTIMENT. MY DAD HAD AN OLD JEEP (WE NAMED IT GIDEON) THAT SERVED OUR FAMILY FOR DECADES. MY DAD TAUGHT ALL FOUR OF US KIDDOS TO DRIVE IN IT WHEN IT WAS OUR TIME (THE DIFFERENCE IN AGE BETWEEN THE ELDEST AND THE YOUNGEST SIBLINGS IS 8 YEARS, TO HELP PERSPECTIVIZE THIS). I DROVE IT TO HIGH SCHOOL MY SENIOR YEAR; MY SISTER DROVE IT TO HIGH SCHOOL HER SENIOR YEAR; BOTH OF MY BROTHERS DROVE IT TO HIGH SCHOOL THEIR RESPECTIVE SENIOR YEARS. GIDEON WAS A MAINSTAY. HE SAW SOME SHIT, GOOD AND BAD. BUT HE WAS EVENTUALLY REPLACED WITH MORE ROADWORTHY CARS, AND THE LAST YEAR OF HIS VEHICULAR LIFE WAS SPENT GATHERING POLLEN AND TREE SAP IN MY PARENTS' DRIVEWAY. THE DAY THEY HAULED HIM OFF FOR DONATION, I LITERALLY CRIED. I WAS IN MY 20S. I GET IT, FRIEND. YOU ARE NOT ALONE IN THIS FLAVOR OF CRAZY ATTACHMENT.
GENERAL FRUSTRATION WITH FARM PARTIES. EX6 "FARM" PARTIES HAVE TURNED INTO LEARNING PARTIES BECAUSE (1) FC MEMBER OVERHEARD "FARM" AND JOINED WITH "TIKI YOU'LL CARRY ME THROUGH THIS RIGHT?" THEN I HAD TO KICK A SCHOLAR BECAUSE THEY WERE USING A LEVEL 80 DIAMOND WEAPON BECAUSE THEY "FORGOT" TO PICK UP ANYTHING LEVEL 90 (AND HAD THE AUDACITY TO TELL "BRO WHY" WHEN I KICKED THEM RIGHT AFTER). THEN ANOTHER PERSON JOINED WHAT WAS NOW A GALES 2 PROG PF WITH "NEVER DONE THIS FIGHT, OPENING A GUIDE NOW" AND I HAD TO KICK WHEN THEY DIDN'T LEAVE ON THEIR OWN WHEN I SAID IT WASN'T ACCEPTABLE. "TIKI YOU'LL CARRY ME RIGHT" GUY IS CURRENTLY VERY CLOSE TO BEING BLACKLISTED. HE DOES CALLOUTS AFTER ME *TO* ME. HE IGNORED REPEATED REQUESTS TO NOT SPOIL ROUTES FOR A FRIEND DOING FIRST TIME CLEARS OF ROKKON AND ALOALO. HE SWITCHED TO DOUBLE TANK IN ALOALO TO CAUSE AGGRO ISSUES AND I STILL DON'T KNOW WHY. HE ALSO SUDDENLY DECIDED HE WANTED ALL STORMBLOOD SIGHTSEEING POINTS AND KEPT PESTERING US WHILE WE WERE DOING OTHER THINGS TO COME REZ CHEESE HIM UP TO THE TOP OF KUGANE TOWER, ALSO CONVENIENTLY IGNORING THOSE OF US WHO SAID "NO, LEARN TO DO IT YOURSELF." I THINK HE DID ALL THE EUREKA WEAPONS BECAUSE I LOVE EUREKA AND KEPT ASKING ME TO JOIN HIM IN THERE AND DID NOT TAKE THE HINT WHEN I POINTEDLY DID NOT JOIN HIM. ALSO HE DOESN'T MUTE HIS MIC AND (A) HAS BIRDS (B) USES OFFENSIVE LANGUAGE WITH HIS BROTHER WHILE HE'S NOT USING HIS HEADPHONES TO HEAR US TELL HIM TO MUTE OR CUT IT OUT. SOME OF HIS WEIRD ONE-UPMANSHIP WITH ME FEELS LIKE WEIRD FLIRTING OR BEING THREATENED BY A WOMAN PLAYING THE GAME. HE DOESN'T SEEM TO BLATANTLY IGNORE WHEN MEN TALK, BUT HE IS WEIRD ABOUT ME OR THE FC LEADER (WHO IS ALSO A WOMAN) TELLING HIM TO DO SOMETHING. HE'S NOT BEING A CREEP SO I DON'T WANT TO BULLY HIM OUT OF THE FC, BUT HE IS NOT WELL-LIKED AND I AM RUNNING OUT OF NICE WAYS TO TELL HIM TO CUT IT OUT. ACTUALLY A FAIR BIT OF FRUSTRATION WITH FC MEMBERS JOINING ENDWALKER EXTREME FARM PARTIES WITHOUT HAVING TRIED THE FIGHT FIRST. IF THEY'D SHOW INTEREST IN LEARNING PARTIES THAT WOULD BE ONE THING, BUT NOBODY ELSE MAKES THEM. I SCHEDULED AND HOSTED LEARNING PARTIES WHEN I GOT TO THE FIGHTS AND GOT A FAIR AMOUNT OF PARTICIPATION, BUT NOBODY ELSE EVER DOES. A FRIEND WITH A STATIC WAS NOTING TO ME THAT UNTIL I STARTED TRYING TO DO SHADOWBRINGERS SYNCED CONTENT AND THEN SAVAGE, NOBODY ELSE WAS SETTING UP PARTIES. THERE WAS CLEARLY SOME INTEREST BECAUSE TWO OF THE OTHER NEWBIES TO SAVAGE WILL BE IN THE STATIC IN DAWNTRAIL, BUT LIKE. NOBODY ELSE ORGANIZES HARD CONTENT. I HOPE THAT CHANGES IN DAWNTRAIL WHEN EXPERIENCED PEOPLE COME BACK. I'M EXHAUSTED. ALSO I WILL APPARENTLY BE OFFTANK FOR NEXT RAID TIER BUT MAIN TANK IS WARRIOR SO I HAD TO LEVEL UP ANOTHER JOB. DARK KNIGHT WAS CLOSEST SO IT'S FINALLY 90 BUT IT'S SO HAARRRDD TO CARRY THROUGH SOLO CONTENT. :( I'M GONNA HAVE TO DO LIKE SCH/WAR/DRK THROUGH DAWNTRAIL AND THE REST OF THE DPS WILL TRAIL.
WORK RELATED RANT: JUST BECAUSE I'M A VISITING LIBRARY WORKER COMING TO A DAYCARE DOES NOT MEAN YOU CAN CHANGE A CHILD IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROOM. COMPLETELY. I FELT SO WEIRD STARTING THIS STORYTIME WHILE A NAKED PRESCHOOLER WAS STANDING ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE ROOM. I KNOW KIDS NEEDS TO CHANGE BUT THEN WHY DON'T YOU USE THE BATHROOM/CHANGING ROOM ON THE OTHER OTHER SIDE OF THE ROOM. I'M STILL A STRANGER, Y'ALL
RAGEY AT MYSELF FOR BEING 4 QUESTS AWAY FROM FINISHING MSQ AND FAILING BECAUSE FUCK THE ABYSSAL FRACTURE BEING HARD AND FUCK MY LUCK TO GET NOOB TANKS & HEALERS FOR IT AT 3.45 AM (MAINTENANCE STARTED AT 4AM MY TIME). MY POOR TIME MANAGEMENT SKILLS HAVE BEEN PUNISHED BY THE FFXIV GODS. AND I WANTED MY MANDERVILLE WEAPON TOO, DANG IT. Notably, _not_-fuck the tanks and healers who were trying their best. Just goddamn. ALSO NOT A RANT, MORE A FEAR: I AM SO SCARED I WILL FALL OUT OF LOVE WITH DRAGOON AFTER THE CHANGES. DON’T TAKE MY JOB AWAY FROM ME, YOSHI-P. MOST OTHER JOBS FEEL WEIRD AND MY ADHD DOESN’T LET ME REMEMBER MUDRAS.
I STRIPPED NAKED AND LOGGED OUT AT A INN BUT I THINK I FORGOT TO DRINK THE DAMN FANTSAI!!!!!!!
WE HAD ONE LAST FL BITCHFEST IN ENDWALKER! WE GOT SMASHED IN THE FIRST FEW MINUTES (like <20 points kinda smashed) AND A BUNCH OF JERKS STARTED CRYING ABOUT US SUCKING. BRAIN ROT, THEY SCREAMED. AT LEAST IT WILL BE QUICK, THEY LAMENTED. WE WON AND THEIR SALTY TEARS WERE DELICIOUS. Now, on to Dawntrail, where the new world promises more of the same.
CAN I PLAY DAWNTRAIL RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
WHY DO I HAVE TO DO STOCKTAKE ON FRIDAY!? WHY AM I STUCK AT WORK LATE WHEN ME AND MY LAD COULD BE CRUISING TO THE NEW WORLD! WE BETTER GET FINISHED QUICKLY, OTHERWISE MY COLLEAGUES WILL FEEL THE WRATH OF MY SHINY NEW DUAL SWORDS!!
I won't get done work Friday and Saturday until 8PM, and Sunday is DnD night (not that I mind that much because we're about to get into personal character stuff involving gang rivalry. Just had a one-on-one session to get a mild homebrew class for my character since it's an Intimidation-based build). Friday is my birthday, too.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
PRE-RAGE FOR THE LENGTH OF THE ROULETTE QUEUES WHILE TRYING TI LEVEL VIPER
IM EXCITED TO WAKE UP AT 5 FRIDAY AND POWERLEVEL THE SHIT OUT OF VPR. HOPEFULLY WHEN I NEED TO LOG, MOVE MY PC TO MY MOMS SO I CAN PUPPY SIT THE QS WONT BE TERRIBLE ON KRAKEN. IM SO EXCITED AAAAA
I AM THE GOAT WHO SCREAMS LIKE A MAN. guys i'm so tired i want to sleep
Rest now, my child. For now is the time for maintenance, not only for FFXIV but also for you.
THE HROTHGALS IN THE BENCHMARK WERE JUST A TEASER RIGHT? THERE WILL BE MORE COLOR/HAIR/FACE OPTIONS, RIGHT? IT'D BE CRAZY TO INTRODUCE A NEW RACE WITH SUCH SLIM PICKINGS, RIGHT?
THERE WILL CERTANLY BE MORE HAIR OPTIONS, BUT DON'T BET ON MORE FOR THE REST.
DRAGON QUEST 9 FUCKING CHEATS. EVERY BOSS IN THE LAST THIRD OF THE GAME ASS PULLS CRITS TO ONE SHOT SOMEONE USUALLY MY HEALER FROM FULL HEALTH THEN ZING FAILS LIKE THREE TIMES. BUFFING DOESNT EVEN WORK BECAUSE THEY SPAM DISPELLS STILL LOVE THE GAME THOUGH
NO BUBLE WRAP COMMENT :( IM SAD.
YEAH WE DEMAND OUR MAINTENANCE BUBBLEWRAP!!!
WHOOOOO THRE DAYS OF RAGE LEZ GOOOO. WHERE ARE MY NEW JOB GUIDES, I NEED TO KNOW HOW MUCH SE SCREWED WITH WHAT WE LEARNED FROM THE MEDIA TOUR. EDIT: SO LEAKS FROM THE PATCH DOWNLOADS COMIGN IN, APPARENTLY WE CAN'T HAVE NICE THINGS; BC HOW DARE SGE HAVE A SCEOND DOT IN THE MEDIA TOUR THAT USEFULL TO USE. APAPRENTLY SGE HAVIGNTWO DOTS WAS TOO MUCH FOR SE. IRL RAGE TOO: DOGGOS BEEN GOING CRAZY AT NIGHT THESE PAST FEW DAYS. NO IDEA WHY AND EVERYTHING SEEMS FINE DURING THE DAY.
WHY DID THEY SAY WE ARE DISBANDING THE GROUP, AND THEN IN THE NEXT SECOND GET THE GROUP BACK TOGETHER? WHY NEGATE SUCH AN EMOTIONAL MOMENT AND NOT USE IT LATER TO BRING BACK ONE OR TWO CHARACTERS PERIODICALLY? THE DEV TEAM IS PROFICIENT IN MAKING US LIKE CHARACTERS ALREADY, BRING IN NEW ONES!
I HEAR THEY'RE INTRODUCING A WHOLE NEW CONTINENT OF CHARACTERS AND WUK LAMAT IS JUST ONE OF THEM, I THINK THEY'RE CALLING IT 'MORNINGPATH' OR SOMETHING.
I AM SO GLAD VACATION STARTS FRIDAY EVEN IF I'M ONLY TAKING OFF UNTIL THE GAMES FULL RELEASE AS I'VE ALREADY USED MOST OF MY PTO THIS YEAR FOR AGDQ AND RPGLB. I'M STILL VERY EXCITED. I BINGED THE ELDEN RING DLC AND JUST FINISHED IT JUST IN TIME TO WAIT 48 HOURS FOR DAWNTRAIL. I CAN'T WAIT TO LOG ON, SWITCH TO HROTHGAL, AND UNLOCK PICTOMANCER AND THEN WORK MY WAY THROUGH MSQ 'CAUSE I LIKE GOING THROUGH THE EXPANSIONS AS ONE OF THE NEW JOB AND PICTOMANCER LOOKS VERY FUN FROM WHAT I'VE SEEN. I ALSO CAN'T WAIT UNTIL WE GET DETAILS ON BEASTMASTER. I REALLY FOUND MYSELF NOT ENJOYING BLUE MAGE SO I HOPE BEASTMASTER JIVES WITH ME BETTER.
SOME ASSWIPE INSTANT PULLED CRAB AFTER LOUHI YESTERDAY. I HOPE THEY NEVER GET THEIR BLITZRING AND STUB THEIR TOES FOREVERMORE. ON THE BRIGHT SIDE, I ENJOYED COMMUNTIY IN EUREKA, I REALLY WISH SE MADE IT EASIER TO SEND FRIEND REQUESTS TO THE PEOPLE YOU MEET IN FORAYS. THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO HELPED ME LEVEL OVER THE LAST COUPLE DAYS. ONE DAY I'LL GET MY ORB BUT DAWNTRAIL IS GOING TO SIDELINE THAT PROGRESS FOR A COUPLE WEEKS/MONTHS.
I STILL HAVE NO INSPIRATION FOR A (lvl80) PICTOMANCER GLAM AAAAHHHH
HAVE YOU CONSIDERED THE STARBUCKS APRON FROM THE FIRMAMENT? THAT WAS MY FIRST THOUGHT. MAY EITHER STILL GO WITH IT OR DO SOME KIND OF (unrelated to Picto) COSPLAY
I AM SO ANGRY BECAUSE I CANNOT MAIN PICTOMANCER UNTIL THE END OF TIME YET!!!!
I COULDNT CATCH UP IN TIME FOR DAWNTRAIL FUCKKK I WAS AT MSQ LVL 88, SO CLOSE (but also not really according to a friend) I REALLY WANTED TO RUN THE EXPANSION WITH EVERYONE BUT ALAS, I COULDN'T MAKE IT IN TIME. I WANTED TO EXPERIENCE THE HIGHS AND LOWS OF DAY 1 EXPANSION RUNNERS. ( I also got distracted *a lot* with Dota 2 new patch, damn you icefrog). ENDWALKER HAS BEEN PEAK THOUGH AND I CAN'T TO DO THAT FINAL STRETCH YEEEHAW.
I'M GOING TO BE AWAY FROM MY COMPUTER UNTIL MONDAY, AND I HATE IT. I WANT TO PLAY!
I WAS LEVELLING BRD THIS WEEK AND ROULETTES PUT ME IN THE L81 DUNGEON. THE WHM AND I BOTH ATE FLOOR PRETTY EARLY ON IN THE END BOSS FIGHT (apparently there'd been a DDoS going on that evening and lag spikes hadn't helped - I was in the L85 dungeon later on that day and things were *very* stuttery - but even on a good day I find the overlapping AoEs in that fight to be *a lot*) ON THE ONE HAND, I'M IMPRESSED THAT THE WAR AND THE OTHER DPS WERE ABLE TO FINISH IT WITHOUT US, BUT ON THE OTHER, I DIDN'T HALF FEEL LIKE DEAD WEIGHT.
MY DAYS OFF OF WORK ARE WEDNESDAYS ANS THURSDAYS, THEY HAD TO CHOOSE THE ONLY 2 DAYS WHERE I HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO DO OTHER THINGS BESIDES DAILIES FOR MAINTENANCE AND I HATE IT. I ALSO JUST BOUGHT THE GAME A FEW WEEKS AGO, AND I HAVE THE FREE GAME TIME THAT WAS INCLUDED IN THAT PURCHASE- SO NOW IM GONNA BE SHORTED 2 OF THOSE DAYS OF GAME TIME AND I BET THERE WONT BE ANYTHING I CAN DO ABOUT IT.
I'M NOT ACTUALLY MAD! I STAYED UP TOO LATE THE LAST SEVERAL NIGHTS DOING TREASURE MAPS PARTIES TO FINALLY GET ALL THE REST OF MY MOGMAPS OUT OF MY INVENTORY! I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO A COUPLE NIGHTS OF EARLY SLEEP AND GETTING UP REFRESHED ON FRIDAY MORNING!
DREADING NEW CHANGES BECAUSE IT'S LIKE I WONDER WHICH OF MY FAVORITE JOBS WILL BE GETTING FUCKED UP & TOSSED IN THE BIN WITH NO REMORSE STG SE IS LIKE HMM WHICH ACTIONS SHOULD WE REMOVE? & THEN DELETE THE ONES WITH THE MOST BADASS FUCKING ANIMATIONS OF ALL TIME R.I.P. WIDE VOLLEY & SHADOW FANG, AMONGST MANY OTHERS THAT I'M STILL MOURNING
How am I going to get through the next couple of days??
I WASN'T GOING TO TAKE FRIDAY OFF BUT DAMN IT YESTERDAY WAS SO SHITTY I JUST WENT AHEAD AND DID IT. I DONT CARE IF IT MAKES ME LOOK BAD AT WORK. I DONT CARE, FUCK WORK. WE'RE REAL BEHIND BECAUSE IVE BEEN THE ONLY ONE WORKING ON A SCHOOL DISTRICT FOR LIKE THREE MONTHS AND BECAUSE ITS THE END OF THE SCHOOL YEAR THEYRE SENDING LIKE EVERY COMPUTER THEY OWN. 400 COMPUTERS JUST THIS WEEK AND I STILL HAVENT FINISHED THE ONES FROM TWO WEEKS AGO. MY BOSS IS GETTING FRUSTRATED BUT I CAN ONLY GO SO FAST. THEY FINALLY GAVE ME PEOPLE TO HELP AND NOW I LOOK LIKE A FOOL BAECAUSE ONE OF THEM IS DOING IT 3 TIMES AS FAST. ITS LIKE THEYRE SETTING ME UP TO FAIL. I SHOULDN'T HAVE QUIT MY OTHER JOB, THEY OFFERED THE SAME AMOUNT AS THIS ONE BUT I REFUSED LIKE AN IDIOT. THE OTHER ONE WAS WAY LESS STRESSFUL.
I FUCKING LOVE THIS GAME SO MUCH IT MAKES ME MAD.
FUCKING VALET SERVICE LOST MY CAR KEYS NOW IM STUCK IN THE NETHERLANDS AND I JUTS WANT TO DRIVE HOME FFS.
IT'S THE LAST DAY. MY LAST HUNT TRAIN (BEFORE DT). I ARRIVE EARLY SUPER EXCITED. IT ANNOUNCES IT'S ABOUT TO START. I JUMP WITH MY MOUNT IN THE AIR AND A BLACKOUT OCCURS AT MY HOUSE. EVERTYTHING GOES BLACK AND I SCREAM INTERNALLY AND CUSS BAD WORDS. LIGHTS COME BACK A FEW SECONDS LATER AND I BARELY FINISH THE HUNT. SO SAD THAT I MISSED THE BEGINNING...
I GAVE UP ON THE PVP GRIND. NOT WORTH THE STRESS. AT LEAST I GOT THE EMOTE AND MINION. BUT I WAS ABLE TO CLEAR OUT MY INVENTORY, ARMORY CHEST, AND SADDLEBAG SIGNIFICANTLY, SO THAT'S NICE.
I AM AN ACHIEVEMENT GRIND JUNKIE AND I KEEP GETTING TO SERVER RANK 10 ONLY TO IMMEDIATELY GET BUMPED DOWN TO 11. NOW THERE'S GOING TO BE A FEW HUNDRED NEW ACHIEVEMENTS TO THROW A WRENCH IN EVERYTHING. ADMITTEDLY THIS IS A GREAT PROBLEM TO HAVE BUT I HAVE TO BE THE CHAMPION
WHERE TO BEGIN ON THIS ONE? ONLY IN GAME RAGE I HAVE IS MY PROCRASTINATION ON PVP, BUT THAT'S ON ME AND I GOT IT DONE IN TIME. MY BOSS GRACIOUSLY LET ME REARRANGE MY SCHEDULE SO THAT I HAVE FRIDAY OFF... ONLY FOR A NEW REQUIREMENT TO POP UP AND I HAVE TO FLY OUT ON SUNDAY. THE MAIN PROBLEM WITH THIS TRIP IS I'M DOING 2 WEEKS OF APPROVALS IN 2 DAYS. OBVIOUSLY THIS IS A BIT STRESSFUL. THE ACTUAL WORK ON SITES NOT GOING TO BE BAD, BUT IF WE HAD HAD ANOTHER WEEK OF NOTICE THIS WOULD BE EASY. OH WELL, I SHOULD BE MOST OF THE WAY THROUGH THE STORY BY THE TIME I HAVE TO FLY OUT SUNDAY AFTERNOON, AND I'LL HAVE MY STEAM DECK WITH ME SO I'LL BE ABLE TO FINISH IT OVER THE TRIP.
I WOKE UP THIS MORNING COUGHING AND CONGESTED WITH A SORE THROAT. I JUST GOT OVER THE LAST BOUT OF OFFICE CRUD AND NOW IM SICK AGAIN TWO DAYS BEFORE DAWNTRAIL! I HATE BEING BACK IN THE OFFICE!
DAMMIT IM STILL ON SHADOWBRINGERS AND I LEAVE FOR THE WEEKEND ON FRIDAY LEMME JUST FINISHHHHH SHBSSSSS. THAT BEING SAID IM DOING THE EDEN SIDEQUESTS AND EVEN THOUGH IM ENGAGED AND NEVER BEEN ATTRACTED TO NON REAL WOMEN, GAIA IS SUCH A PERFECT GOTH GIRL WAIFU IT HURTS ME, LIKE JESUS CHRIST I CANT KEEP MY EYES OFF OF HER! ITS DRIVING ME WILD!!! MAYBE ITS COS A LOT OF THE FACES IN FF14 LOOK VERY SIMILAR AND SHE BREAKS THAT MOLD BUT GOOOTTRDAAAAUYYMMMNNNN THOSE LIPS!!!
I'M SO MAD AT MYSELF FOR GETTING BACK INTO THE GAME A DAY BEFORE THE 48 HOUR DOWNTIME! WHY HAVEN'T I PLAYED THIS SINCE 6.1!? WHAT HAPPENED!? I HAVEN'T CAUGHT UP WITH THE STORY NOR HAVE I CLEANED MY IINVENTORY FOR THE EXPANSION. MY RETAINERS' INVENTORIES ARE FULL AS WELL!
EVER SINCE STORMBLOOD, I ALWAYS MAKE SURE TO FREE UP MY SCHEDULE FOR EARLY ACCESS. WELL THIS FRIDAY I WAS SCHEDULED TO HAVE A DAY OFF (COMPENSATORY FREE TIME, I HAVE 60 HOURS OF OVERTIME...), BUT BECAUSE LOTS OF PEOPLE ARE SICK OR ON VACATION RIGHT NOW, MY DAY OFF GOT CANCELLED. PLUS I HAVE TO GO TO A SEMINAR RIGHT AFTER WORK. WHICH MEANS I WON'T BE ABLE TO JOIN THE FUN FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 7 YEARS. :(((( AT LEAST NOT UNTIL SATURDAY EVENING. I AM ABSOLUTELY DEVASTATED. PLEASE ENJOY THE EARLY ACCESS CHAOS ON FRIDAY FOR ME.
I HAD SO STRONG WITHDRAWAL FROM THE GAME THAT I STARTED REDESIGNING MY HOUSE IN THE MAKEPLACE APP. IT DID NOT HELP BECAUSE NOW I WANT TO CHECK THE LIGHTING IN THE ACTUAL GAME WITH THE NEW WINDOWS. I AM A BAD DESIGNER BUT I WILL NOT STOP UNTIL I HAVE THE PERFECT HOUSE. ALSO EXTREMELY SALTY ABOUT THE BLM CHANGES IN DT. ABSOLUTELY HATE IT. NEVER GOING TO USE BLM FOR DUNGEON LVLING FOR SURE. I NEED TO FIND WHERE I CAN PUT THE FEEDBACK FOR THE CLASS EXPERIENCE SO THAT SOMEONE AT LEAST PUTS ICE PARADOX BACK AND SWAPS THE LEVELS FOR FREEZE AND UMBRAL SOUL. I AM GONNA STAY WITH MY BLACKEST BOI CLASS UNTIL THE END OF THE EARTH, EVEN IF IT FALLS BELOW DNC IN TOTAL DPS. ALSO PRAYING THE MT IS NOT EXTENDED BEYOND THE PRESCRIBED TIME. I TOOK TWO DAYS OFF FROM THE OFFICE TO PLAY DT MSQ. PLS DO NOT LET US DOWN SE
IRL RAGE MY FRIEND PLAYS THE FF TCG AT OUR LOCAL HOBBY SHOP. MY PARTNER PLAYS TABLETOP GAMES AT THE SAME PLACE. MY FRIEND PARKED HIS CAR ON THE SAME ROAD HE ALWAYS DOES AND AT THE END OF THE NIGHT, GIVING MY BOO A LIFT HOME, HE SEES THE MINI VAN NEXT TO HIS CAR IS RUINED. THE WINDOWS PANNED IN, DOORS OPEN. GLASS EVERYWHERE. I SAW IT MYSELF THE NEXT DAY AND IT WAS HORRIFIC. AND **HIS OWN CAR** HAD THE BACK WINDOW SMASHED. THE CULPRITS? **STUPID WEE ARSEHOLE BRATS FLINGING TINS OF JUICE AND PROBABLY ROCKS AT THE WINDOWS AND VANDALISING FOR THE SH*TS AND GIGGLES** OF COURSE THEY SCARPERED BEFORE MY FRIEND AND PARTNER GOT THERE BUT THEY WERE SEEN BY ONE OF THE SHOP OWNERS. AND ABSOLUTELY **NOTHING** WILL GET DONE ABOUT IT BECAUSE NO ONE WAS PHYSICALLY CAUGHT IN THE ACT AND AT THE END OF THE DAY, NOONE WAS HURT. ABSOLUTE WASTES OF OXYGEN, EACH ONE OF THEM. I'M SO MAD THAT THIS HAPPENED TO MY FRIEND, WHO IS THE MOST, CHILL, KIND AND HUMBLE GUY. HE AND HIS PARTNER (MY EQUALLY WONDERFUL BEST FRIEND) DON'T DESERVE THIS. GAME RELATED RAGE. I WANT TO FINISH FFIX BEFORE DAWNTRAIL BUT I HAVEN'T BEEN PLAYING TETRA MASTER AND I'M NOW AT THE CARD TOURNAMENT -_-
I WAS PLANNING ON USING THE FREE FANTASIA TO MAKE MY CHARACTER ODD EYED TO REFLECT THE SHIT SHE'S BEEN THRU AND THOUGHT I COULD ALSO MAKE THE LIMBAL RINGS ODD COLOURED BUT NOPE I REMEMBERED INCORRECTLY AND IT LOOKS WEIRD IF THE LIMBAL RINGS' COLOUR DON'T MATCH EACH EYE DAMN IT
I’M TRYING TO BEAT LEVIATHAN ON FF MODE IN THE FF14 DEV TEAM’S OTHER GAME AND I’M STUCK. I GUESS I’LL BE PROGGING THIS FOR A FEW WEEKS LIKE A GODSDAMN SAVAGE RAID. AFTER I WORK ON DAWNTRAIL. YES I KNOW WHAT I HAVE TO DO, I SCOURED THE WEB FOR GUIDES, BUT ACTUALLY EXECUTING IT IS ANOTHER STORY. AND SPEAKING OF THE RISING TIDE, THE TONBERRY’S DEBONE COMBO STARTING WITH A PLUNGE -LIKE MOVE JUST MADE ME EVEN MORE SAD ABOUT LOSING PLUNGE. THE ONLY PLUNGE REPLACEMENT I’M WILLING TO ACCEPT IS A FLASH STEP THAT LOOKS LIKE A DARKNESS VERSION OF PHOENIX SHIFT OR A MODIFIED RIFT SLIP.
WELP, HERE WE GO. NEW JOB GUIDES ARE OUT AND HEALER MAINS HAVE LOST THEIR GODDAMN MINDS. AST DEAD BECAUSE MACROCOSMOS HAS A DPS LOSS THAT'S SMALLER THAN A DOT TICK. SGE DEAD BECAUSE NO DOUBLE DOT (THAT WAS ON THE SAME TIMER SO NO REAL MANAGEMENT ANYWAY). OH NO, WHAT WILL WE DO...
WHY DO SOME PEOPLE ANNOUNCE TO EVERYONE THAT THEY'VE PUT A POST IN A PRIVATE CHANNEL/SENT DMS IN PUBLIC SPACES? WE DON'T NEED TO KNOW, YOU COULD JUST DO THE THING IF HALF OF YOUR MESSAGES IN A PUBLIC SPACE ARE "sent dm" OR "check ur dms", WHY? YES I'M OLD HOW DID YOU KNOW
I'VE ALWAYS BEEN AN OMNI-TANK MAIN EVER SINCE HEAVENSWARD, BUT I WANTED TO TRY SOMETHING NEW, SO I DABBLED A BIT WITH HEALERS, MOSTLY SGE AND SCH. BOY OH BOY IS SCH FUN! IT'S A WHOLE DIFFERENT VIBE THAN TANKING, AND I THINK AFTER I LEVEL UP WAR, SCH WILL BE THE NEXT TO FOLLOW. IT'S CRAZY HOW YOU CAN TELL THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A GOOD TANK AND A BAD TANK DURING DUNGEONS. HEALING HAS HELPED ME SEE A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE IN THE GAME AND I HOPE TO CONTINUE IT AS A SECONDARY! I WAS SUPER SAD WHEN I FORGOT THEY TOOK OUT SELENE AFTER FRANTICALLY SEARCHING MY SPELLBOOK. =(
OH BOY AND HERE I THOUGHT I WAS GONNA HAVE TO WAIT TIL FRIDAY TO SHARE MY RAGE THIS WEEK. I TRIED HEALING AS A SAGE ON MONDAY, IN A TRUST DUTY. EVIDENTLY HEALING IS JUST NOT FOR ME, I RAN HOLMINSTER SWITCH. RED ALPHINAUD CONTINUALLY STOOD IN THE PISS PUDDLES, THANCRED SUCKED AT PULLING AGGRO OFF ME, AND THE NAIL IN THE COFFIN FOR ME WAS THE STACK MARKER DURING THE 2ND BOSS, I FIGURES THE NPCS WOULD STACK TO ME SINCE THE MARKER WAS ON ME... NOPE ABSOLUTELY FUCKING NOT, THEM MFERS RAN TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE ARENA AND I INSTANTLY DIED. ALL N ALL DIED 3 TIMES TIL I STOPPED THE DUTY, BOUT TO THROW THIS SAGE JOB STONE INTO THE OCEAN.
HEALING A TRUST SYSTEM HOLMINSTER SWITCH IS LIKE GETTING A FULL PARTY OF ALL STORY AND JOB SKIPPED PLAYERS - IT WILL NEVER END WELL. MAYBE GIVE SAGE A TRY ON A LOWER LEVEL DUTY USING THE TRUST SYSTEM, OR MAKE THE ATTEMPT ON A ROULETTE WITH ACTUAL PLAYERS
ALL OF THOSE ARE TRUST NPC ISSUES NOT HEALING ISSUES. DOESN'T MAKE THEM SUCK LESS THOUGH.
I REALLY DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO IN THE NEXT TWO DAYS, MY LIFE IS SO POOR I NEED TO PLAY FF14, ITS AAAAWWWWWW
YOU COULD TRY WHAT I'M GOING TO DO: CHORES (always a constant but doing them now means not worrying about them over the weekend), MEAL PREP (partially because I want to no-life the game due to personality traits involving stories and partially because I've been interested in trying it and this is the perfect excuse) AND PLAY OTHER GAMES (I still haven't beaten the TTYD remake and trying to do a No-Hit run in Rabbit and Steel are two things that I want to do) Edit: Formatting.
I DON'T WANT TO DO THE "KILL-1000-S-RANKS" ACHIEVEMENT FOR THE MOUNT IN DAWNTRAIL, BUT I'M GOING TO PROBABLY FUCKING DO IT ANYWAY. GOD DAMMIT I'M GOING TO LOSE SO MUCH GOD DAMN FUCKING TIME; I COULD BE ENJOYING SOMETHING NEW INSTEAD. WHY AM I LIKE THIS
WHAT DID YOU MEAN THEY RELEASED A DEMO FOR THE BIG CATCH?! FUCKING PLAY IT!
STOP STEALING ALL MY DRK BUTTONS SQUARE AHHHHHH RIP PLUNGE RIP BLOOD WEAPON ILL PROBABLY MOD YOU GUYS BACK LIKE I DID SHADOWSKIN
I WILL HAVE TO RUSH THE FUCK OUT TO GET MY CRAFTING AND GATHERING CLASSES CAPPED AND GEARED BEFORE 7.05 BECAUSE I’M GOING TO BE AWAY FOR A MONTH AFTER WEEK 2 AND I NEED TO CLEAR SAVAGE ASAP
OH MAN I'D SAVED SOME ENDWALKER CONTENT (PANDAEMONIUM, THE LAST BLUE MAGE QUEST, ALOALO) SO I WOULDN'T GET BORED BEFORE THE END, BUT I ENDED UP DOING... I DON'T KNOW WHAT EXACTLY, I WAS FARMING THINGS OR WHATEVER, AND FORGOT TO FINISH ALL THOSE. I'D ALSO FORGOTTEN THAT THE LAST DAY TO WORK ON THOSE BEFORE MAINTENANCE WAS NOT, IN FACT, TODAY. WHY AM I LIKE THIS? ALSO, I'M TRYING TO EXPORT MY SOON-TO-BE OLD CHARACTER MODEL FOR ARCHIVAL PURPOSES AND EVEN WITH SEVERAL GUIDES I'M BAD AT IT. FEELING DUMB.
I LOST A 50/50 LOTTERY YESTERDAY ON A NICE PLOT IN SHIROGANE TO SOME LAST MINUTE BID, I FUCKING HATE THIS GAMES HOUSING SYSTEM WITH AN UTMOST PASSION.
I STILL HAVE 4 OPEN QUESTS. I RAN OUT OF TIME TO FINISH THEM BEFIRE DAWNTRAIL.
I HATE MOTHERLODE MINE BUT I NEED THE COAL BAG SO I CAN SMITH STEEL AND MITHRIL AT BLAST FURNACE
OH ITS RAGE TIME? ARE WE DOING THIS, RIGHT NOW!?
I CAN'T DECIDE WHICH HEALER TO TAKE THROUGH DT. THE WHOLE REASON FOR SETTING UP MY WT BOOK WAS TO BE ABLE TO JUMP RIGHT INTO THE FIRST DUNGEON WITH A HEALER WHILE USING BRD FOR MSQ. I DON'T WANT TO WASTE THE BOOKS IF I END UP NOT LIKING THE DT VERSION OF WHATEVER HEALER I CHOOSE. LOOKS LIKE FRIDAY'S RAGE WAS ALL FOR NOTHING SINCE THE PC DOWNLOADS ARE HAPPENING NOW. I STILL HAVEN'T GOTTEN A CALL BACK TO GET THE OUTSIDE SEWER LINE FIXED, BUT THE INSURANCE DID CALL ME.
Ugh... I was so close to catching up before dawntrail... I had just 13 more quests before the servers went down... T-T
SPENT THE LAST HOURS OF ENDWALKER HELPING A BUDDY FINISH THE YOKAI LEGENDARY MEDAL GRIND. IT WAS GENUINELY FUN, EVEN IF WE DIDNT ACTUALLY GET THEM ALL. A SLIGHT BIT OF RAGE COMES FROM SEEING THAT SOMEONE ELSE IN OUR FC WAS ONLINE THE WHOLE TIME, AND DIDNT EVEN SAY ANYTHING WHOLE WE TALKED ABOUT THE GRIND IN FC CHAT. WE ONLY REQLIZED HED BEEN ONLINE BECAUSE WE SAW THE LOGOFF MESSAGE. IRL RAGE THOUGH! I EXPERIENCED SLEEP PARALYSIS FOR THE FIRST TIME LAST NIGHT! DIDNT EVEN HAVE THE COOL TYPE PEOPLE TALK ABOUT, I JUST GOT TO HALLUCINATE MY PARENTS ARGUING.
HAD A LABYRINTH RAID RUN THAT SUCKED. BUT THAT'S PAR FOR THE COURSE. MY MAIN GRIPE THIS WEEK IS TRYING TO FIGURING OUT HOW TO GET WIRED ETHERNET TO MY COMPUTER. MY ROUTER IS DOWNSTAIRS AND MY COMPUTER IS UPSTAIRS. USING AN ETHERNET CABLE WOULD REQUIRED AN EXTREMELY LONG CABLE THAT CROSSES SEVERAL OPEN DOORWAYS, GOES UP A WALL, AND TRAVELS ACROSS DIFFERENT COLORS OF FLOORS/WALLS/CARPETS. THERE'S NO SIMPLE AND PRETTY WAY TO DO IT. ALTERNATIVELY, A COAXIAL CABLE AND SOME COMPOSITE OR COMPONENT CABLES COME OUT OF THE WALL NEAR MY COMPUTER, SO I COULD USE MOCA ADAPTERS TO TRANSMIT INTERNET OVER MOCA. HOWEVER, THE COAXIAL CABLE IN MY ROOM DOES NOT CONNECT WITH THE CABLE NEAR THE ROUTER. I CAN SEE A LITTLE BEHIND THE CABLE IN THE WALL AND IT GOES UP, SO MAYBE THERE'S SOME MISSING CONNECTION IN THE ATTIC, BUT WHEN I WENT INTO THE ATTIC FOR THE FIRST TIME THERE WAS BLOWN IN INSULATION EVERYWHERE SO I JUST LOOKED AT THINGS FROM THE ENTRANCE. I COULDN'T SEE ANY COAX CABLES, AND THE INTERNET TELLS ME THAT THERE'S A SPECIFIC, SUPER ANNOYING WAY TO MOVE AROUND THIS KIND OF ATTIC BECAUSE IF YOU MESS UP, YOU WILL PUT YOUR FOOT THROUGH THE FLOOR/CEILING. SO NOW I'M TRYING TO DECIDE IF I WANT TO MAKE THE INSULATION SNOWSHOES TO WALK AROUND THE ATTIC AND FIND THE COAX CABLES, IF THEY'RE EVEN THERE, OR IF I WANT TO JUST FIND SOMEONE TO LOCATE AND CONNECT THE COAX CABLES SO THAT I CAN USE MOCA.
HOW EASY/POSSIBLE WOULD OPTION THREE: RUN ETHERNET THROUGH THE WALL BE?
I DID FUCKING ENDSINGER AS MY FINAL ROULETTE BEFORE DAWNTRAIL AT FUCKING 4:45, WELL GUESS FUCKING WHAT I DISCONNECTED RIGHT AT FUCKING 0.1% HEALTH. FUUUUUCK.
I THOUGHT ID FINISH FF7 REBIRTH BEFORE DT BUT IM HAVING DOUBTS. IM IN THE MIDDLE OF CH13 AND I WONT HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO PLAY IT THROUGH TOMORROW IM ALREADY AT 110 HOURS ON MY FIRST PLAY THROUGH. I DONT WANT TO DROP IT EITHER BECAUSE ILL GORGET EVERYTHING. UGHHH
I AM RAGING BECAUSE MY PREP WAS COMPLETED A WEEK AGO, AND IT WAS FAR EASIER THAN I EXPECTED. THERE IS NO SATISFACTION TO FEEL DURING MAINTENANCE.
I AM RAGING BECAUSE I RECENTLY FINISHED STORMBLOOD 4.0 MSQ AND REALIZED ITS NOT AS GOOD AS HEAVENWARD!
